This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $250,000 to New York University (NYU) aims to study the neural bases of bilingual language production. The key products/services under this 3-year project (4/1/2025 - 3/31/2028) include:
Conducting a series of experiments using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to measure brain responses as bilingual participants produce words and morphological changes across multiple languages. This research will provide insights into how the brain processes and coordinates multiple language systems. The project also creates a publicly available bilingual brain database and offers training opportunities for students in advanced neuroscience techniques. By examining similarities in how morphological rules are used across languages, the research seeks to characterize the neural mechanisms underlying bilingual language processing. The findings could address important questions about second language learning and the neurobiology of language more broadly.
