Centre for Speech, Language, and the Brain (CSLB)

The Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain is part of the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge. Our interdisciplinary research covers a wide range of issues in the cognitive neuroscience of language, object processing, semantics, the ageing brain and cognition.

Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN)

The Cam-CAN is a large-scale collaborative research project that seeks to understand how the brain preserves cognition as we age.

The Science of Ageing
European Research Council

Over the last 10 years the CSLB has been funded by major grants from the MRC the BBSRC and the ERC who has funded 2 Advanced Investigators grants. The lab is currently funded by a second ERC Advanced Investigator grant to study: Language dynamics: a neurocognitive approach to incremental interpretation.
Language dynamics

A neurocognitive approach to incremental interpretation: Understanding spoken language involves a complex set of neural computations that continuously transform the auditory input into a meaningful interpretation on millisecond timescales.
Participating in experiments at the CSLB: MRI scanning

MRI stands for 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging'. MRI scanning is a technique that allows us to examine in detail the structures of the brain.
