Welcome

The works carried out at LINGUA benefit from the clinical and neuroimaging approaches to study the neuroscience of language.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) : Structural, functional, diffusion & resting-state
  • Neurodegeneration: Cognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer’s and primary progressive aphasias
  • Language: Reading, semantics, naming, spontaneous speech
  • Aging: Cognition in normal aging

Contact

LINGUA is open to welcome new students at any time!

Volunteer research positions are available for undergraduate students enrolled in the honors path of the Bachelor of Psychology program at the Université de Montréal.

Doctoral positions are only offered to graduate students admitted to one of the Université de Montréal’s Research and Intervention or Clinical Psychology programs.

Research positions are offered to doctoral graduates of a specialty in connection with LINGUA’s research themes (psychology, neurosciences, speech therapy, computer science).

Regardless your level of study, please send us your CV and a brief description of your research interests.

Hope to meet you!
