The ANCAR Lab (Applied Neuroscience for Communication and Reading) is located in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, main campus. The lab’s current research aims to improve our understanding of how the organization of the auditory cortex for phonological information may differ in children with and without language-based learning disabilities in which phonological skill is implicated, including dyslexia. Research projects utilize standardized behavioral measures, experimental tasks, and functional neuroimaging (fMRI). Imaging is conducted at the Intermountain Neuroimaging Consortium in Boulder, CO.
