We study the relationship between the neurobiology of language, inner speech, and consciousness

The overarching goal of the LAB Lab is to understand the the neurobiology of language, inner speech, and consciousness and their relationship to mental health and wellbeing. To achieve this aim, the LAB Lab Team uses methods and tools like naturalistic or movie-fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), mobile phone based experience sampling and tracking, and psychedelic drugs like DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine). In the spirit of open and replicable science, we do large studies and make our code and data publicly available (e.g., see our ‘Naturalistic Neuroimaging Database‘ or NNDb).

The HOLISTIC Model

Our neurobiological model of the relationship between language, inner speech, and consciousness that serves as a framework for much of our research

The NOLB Model

The natural organization of language and the brain (NOLB) model that serves as a more specific framework for the work we do on the neurobiology of language

Naturalistic Neuroimaging

To test the the HOLISTIC and NOLB models, we conduct neuroimaging studies using naturalistic stimuli like movies, audiobooks, podcasts, novels, real webpages, etc.
