Biographical Information Thomas Christensen is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. His research in the human brain focuses on the neuroanatomical and functional organization of speech perception using functional brain imaging (fMRI) coupled with electrophysiological tools (EEG) and behavioral testing. Currently funded projects involve the cognitive modulation of primary language processing by attention and memory networks, effects of attention type and cognitive load on language perception, and the roles of cortical-subcortical interactions in serving these cognitive processes. Current experiments are a prelude to studying clinical populations with brain disorders that may disrupt language, verbal memory, attention, or any combination of these skills.
