The brain has a remarkable capacity for adaptation in response to experiences and activities throughout a person’s life. Central to our human experience are language and communication. We investigate how the brain supports language, vision, and cognition across diverse sensory experiences. By studying sign languages and their users, we seek to uncover fundamental principles of human communication and neuroplasticity. Our research integrates behavioral, electrophysiological, and computational methods, including machine learning and computer vision, and produces openly accessible tools, visualizations, and lexical resources (ASL-LEX.org). This work informs theories of brain and language organization while contributing to advances in technology and clinical rehabilitation.

Collaborate with us!
Our growing team includes deaf and hearing collaborators. The mission of our lab is to increase participation and inclusion of deaf/hard-of-hearing people and generally those whose diverse experiences have been underrepresented in scientific research and theorizing. We strive to conduct culturally responsive research that benefits the communities it concerns and aligns with their values. Get in touch if you would like to be involved as a study participant or a contributor, or if you have any questions.
