The Neurocognition and Language Research Group conducts basic and applied research on speech, language and communication.
How does our mind capture the communicative intention from a purely physical acoustic stream? Why are some children expert story tellers and yet stumble when writing simple words? How can speaking, conversely, be more effortful than writing, as Vladimir Nabokov observed on himself? We take a neurocognitive approach to the study of these and related questions, using a range of behavioral, neurophysiological and neuro-imaging methods.
The group is part of the Center for Psychology at University of Porto and conducts its work at the Speech Laboratory, launched in 1991.
