I'm a cognitive neuroscientist working in the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Health at Northeastern University with appointments in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and Department of Psychology. I study the neuroscience of human communication, aging, and hearing impairment. For more on my research, please see my lab webpage.

I also wrote a textbook: The Neuroscience of Language (2005, Cambridge University Press).

In addition to communication, I am also interested in brain health and neuroplasticity more generally (especially related to physical function).
