Principal Investigator
David P. Corina, Ph.D.
Dr. Corina's research focuses on understanding the neural bases of higher cognitive function, specifically language and memory. He is interested in neurobiological models of language processing and elucidating the degrees of plasticity within systems related to language and memory, drawing insights from the comparisons of signed and spoken languages. Dr. Corina's work includes developmental studies of children learning language, studies of deaf and hearing college students and neuropsychological studies of language breakdown in aging populations. On-going studies explore language and human actions processing in deaf users of American Sign Language and hearing users of spoken language. A current interest is in the expression of cross-modal plasticity in children with cochlear implants. Dr. Corina's research encompasses psychology, linguistics and neuroscience.

Elizabeth Pierotti
Elizabeth is a fifth year doctoral student in Psychology using EEG to study how deaf and typical hearing children learn to recognize spoken words. She is also interested in the role of audiovisual integration during speech perception. Outside of research, she likes running, cooking, and listening to music.
