Department of Psychology

The Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain (CSLB), is a major multidisciplinary research centre headed by Professor Lorraine K. Tyler.

The CSLB carries out research across three main research themes: the neurobiology of spoken language in healthy and brain-damaged populations, neurocognitive accounts of conceptual knowledge, and the ageing brain and cognition. The CSLB's scientists come from a range of academic backgrounds including cognitive psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and computer science. The Centre collaborates with many partners within the University of Cambridge and beyond. 

The CSLB has had the following papers accepted for publication this year:
