Research Activities

"Where" and "What" of Language Our reserch is in the domain of cognitice Neuroscinece. Its major focus is to study the neurolinguistic and neuropsychological correlates of human language: How language is organazed and processed in the human brain? what are the underlying neural mechanisms of language use and comprehension? How words and sentences are organized and processed in the brain? The exprimental data, in this respect, are obrained from four different neurolinguiatic aources. 1. Aphasiological and pathological data from monolingual and bilingual brain-damaged patients whose native language is persian. 2. Persian-speaking children with developmental language impairments. 3. Experimental tasks designed to measure auditory verbal (Persian) and non-verbal cognitive functions, and 4. results of neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies on language such as ERP and fMRI.

Present Research Project at IPM

1- Neuropsychology of human auditory system: Auditory "what" and "where" Precessing streams 2- Etiology and Symptomatology of SLI and Dyslexia
