A conversation with Ev Fedorenko
Ev Fedorenko, an Associate Professor at MIT, shares her fascinating journey through cognitive neuroscience, highlighting her passion for languages from childhood. She discusses her innovative use of individual-subject fMRI methods to understand language regions, emphasizing the limitations of group averages. The conversation dives into the complexities of modularity in language processing and how it intersects with cognitive tasks. Ev also reveals her ongoing research on aphasia recovery and the intriguing hypothesis linking language development to social cognition.
