About Us

The Human Neuroscience Laboratory is located on the second floor of the Surgery Brain Research Pavillion at the University of Chicago. In general, our research focuses on brain structure and function to support motor and language processing in health and after brain injury. We focus these interests on basic research topics such as the role of the brain in speech perception and language comprehension, gesture, and hand motor control; and applied research topics including the rehabilitation of language disorders and hand motor function after stroke and the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. We have strong ties to the Department of Neurology within the Biological Science Division, the Department of Psychology within the Social Science Division, and the Computation Institute, as well as to the Committees on Neurobiology and Computational Neuroscience. The Human Neuroscience Laboratory is an associate of the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience, the Center for Integrative Neuroscience and Neuroengineering, and the Institute for Mind and Biology.
