The Lund Neurolinguistics Lab assesses the neural underpinnings of language, focusing on prosody, prediction, and processing. Using neurophysiology, we follow speech processing as it develops in real-time with millisecond precision. With functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI/MRI), we observe the brain mechanisms involved in speech perception and measure the correlation between brain structure and language aptitude with high spatial resolution.
