   I have worked on wide variety of research projects within language perception from a dynamic framework.  My collaborators and I do theoretically motivated research that mainly investigate the principles and mechanisms of language processing at the level of pragmatics and semantics.  We do this by tracking behaviors in real-time, which provides a direct window into how you use language as it is being heard, as a source of information about the world.  My lab has many students interested in language and behavior from many different perspectives, with a primary goal being to reconcile theory across disciplines.  I actively work on many experimental and computational modeling projects at any given point in time, and teach courses on cognitive science, psycholinguistics, and neural networks.  We also have weekly lab meetings, during which we talk about current projects, recent publications, and deeper theoretical issues (for example, the best way to eat Gus's fried chicken).
