RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dan Lametti is a cognitive scientist and psycholinguist who studies how we produce and perceive language. He tackles this problem using a variety of methods from cognitive psychology including behavioural manipulations, non-invasive brain stimulation, and computational modelling. In addition to his lab's long interest in the behavioural and brain-basis of speech processing, he also studies the social cognition of language-based human-AI interactions.
Dan is happy to hear from students and postdocs interested in working in his lab.
