This summer, Jeanne Gallée '16 worked as a full-time research assistant in MGH professor Evelina Fedorenko's neurolinguistics laboratory at MIT. She participated in a brand-new project that has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the language center of the brain. In an effort to combat the issues that different experiments, subjects, MRI scanners, and data analyses of different laboratories pose, the EvLab’s “ALICE" project will undertake the creation of a universal language localizer by implementing an auditory listening and response task across at least 100 languages in a fMRI study on native speakers. Additionally, Jeanne was given the opportunity to lead her own project on adaptive neural responses to syntactic structures.
