Welcome to the Brain, Language & Bilingualism Lab!
We are a cognitive neuroscience lab based in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge. We aim to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms that allow us to use and comprehend language, and to explore how these mechanisms may have evolved. We also aim to understand how our brains adapt to the requirements of learning and using more than one language.
