The Brain and Language Lab is headed by Dr. Eleonora Rossi (Eleonora.rossi@ufl.edu) and Dr. Edith Kaan (kaan@ufl.edu). The Rossi Lab research team investigates how bilingualism shapes the mind and the brain, with a focus on understanding neural changes that occur at the earliest stages of new language acquisition. The Rossi Lab Team works with behavioral, and EEG data to track real-time brain responses. The Kaan Lab research team conducts experiments to investigate language processing in the brain. In particular, the lab is interested in how humans process (a) sentences and texts, (b) lexical tones, and (c) language in the context of second-language learning. A variety of experimental techniques are employed, including questionnaires, reading studies, and event-related brain potentials (ERPs).
