Cognitive and Neural Representations of Concepts and Events
The WORK meeting – Words, Objects, and the Representation of Knowledge. We talk about the cognitive and neural bases of concepts/semantic memory, events/episodic memory, and related topics in psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience. This is a joint lab meeting with Dr. Gerry Altmann’s lab.

Autism and Language
Our lab investigates social communication in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), linking this complex behavior to mechanistic brain processes and to genetic factors.
Wednesdays, 2:15 pm
Bous 135
inge-marie.eigsti@uconn.edu
Language and Brain Lab (Emily Myers, PI) Lab Meeting
We discuss speech perception, language learning, and cognitive neuroscience, especially the use of neuroimaging techniques to study language processing.

“Acqui-Lab”
A joint lab meeting held weekly with faculty and graduate students from (primarily) Linguistics and Developmental Psychology who study child language acquisition. The lab meetings include practice presentations, discussions of research in progress, and discussion of interesting talks people have heard at major conferences (e.g. GALA, GALANA, BUCLD).
Fall 2021 dates: 11/4, 11/18, 12/2 william.snyder@uconn.edu yes

Open Lab …..for folks interested in questions related to Science Communication and Visualization timothy.miller@uconn.edu
Etan Behavioral Neuroscience lab we are interested in relating brain processes to learning, memory and navigation in rats. Projects include learning through observation and the response of individual brain cells to a change in the environment training rats on various tasks – throughout the week etan.markus@uconn.edu
https://kidcaplab.uconn.edu/; Our primary research interests fall into three main themes:
(1) Experimental investigation of learning and memory
(2) Longitudinal and individual difference analysis of emerging executive functions
(3) Neuroscience foundations of socio-cognitive development
Weekly lab meetings in Storrs typically Fridays 1:30pm. However, may change with semester kimberly.cuevas@uconn.edu yes (although primary in-person activies are based at Waterbury during the summer)
