Research Interest
Dr. Joanisse’s research focuses on the development, processing and cognitive neuroscience of written and spoken language. This includes work on developmental disorders of language and reading, such as specific language impairment and dyslexia. Dr. Joanisse is also involved in research using brain imaging techniques such as functional MRI to better understand the brain bases of spoken and written word recognition. He also uses computational modeling to derive predictions for behavioural and neuroimaging studies, and for better understanding of how general constraints on articulation, perception and statistical learning influence how humans learn and process language.
