Marc has been at Western since 2000, studying the cognitive and brain bases of language and reading.
Work in our lab emphasizes the importance of studying multiple aspects of language
ability, in a variety of populations, using a range of techniques. Thus, research
projects study phonology, reading and grammar abilities in adults and children, using
everything from traditional behavioural techniques to eyetracking and neuroimaging.
