The focus of the Language and Computation in Neural Systems research group, led by Andrea Martin, is to understand the computational principles and mechanisms that underlie the representation and processing of human language. Its aim is to develop a theory about how the brain generates human language that is based on principles from across the language sciences, the cognitive and computational sciences, and neuroscience -- and to do so in a way that stays faithful to the constraints on neural computation, to the formal properties of language, and to human behavior.
