Language, Interaction, & Cognition Lab

Language, Interaction, & Cognition Lab

Department of Cognitive & Information Sciences

How do we decode another person’s thoughts and intentions from a sequence of sounds (speech) or shapes (letters, signs)? And how do we choose what to say next to transfer our thoughts to another person’s mind? The LInC Lab is a group of cognitive scientists tackling these questions using behavioral, neuroscientific, and computational tools.
