Research Topics at Former Poeppel Lab at ESI

The overall goal of the resarchers at the Former Poeppel Lab is to develop a theoretically motivated, computationally explicit, and biologically realistic perspective on auditory cognition (including music), speech perception, and language comprehension. 

The work proceeds on three key areas:

  1. basic physiological properties of human cortex (non-invasive studies of neural encoding);
  2. hearing and speech perception (psychophysical and neurobiological approaches); and
  3. neurobiological foundations of language.

These three areas of inquiry are closely related, although not all of the work is necessarily of an interdisciplinary nature. The lab uses all available cognitive neuroscience tools. The main methods employed include electrophysiological recordings using magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), and electrocorticography (ECoG), as well as imaging studies using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
