Po-Heng Chen
Graduate Institute of Linguistics National Taiwan University
As human beings, we use language effortlessly in life despite its complexity. My research interests focus on cognitive and neural mechanisms of language processing and how these mechanisms could be affected by individual variations and healthy aging.Master Students
I-Ling Hsu
Graduate Institute of Linguistics National Taiwan University
Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics are my main research fields. I am interested in the cognitive and neural mechanisms for both young and aging adults. Currently, my research project focuses on the hemispheric mechanism in emotional language processing by event-related potentials (ERPs).
Tsu-Yueh Hsu
Graduate Institute of Linguistics National Taiwan University
I received a B.S. in psychology and a B.A. in foreign languages and literature at National Cheng Kung University. I am currently a master's student in the Graduate Institute of linguistics at National Taiwan University. My interest lies in the neurolinguistics of multilingualism, especially how the brain behaves differently between L1 and L2.
Jing-Yi Huang
Graduate Institute of Brain and Mind Sciences National Taiwan University
Co-advised by Dr. Joshua O. Goh
I received a B.S. in speech language pathology and currently am a master’s student in the Graduate Institute of Brain and Mind Sciences at NTU. I am interested in cognitive neuroscience and neurolinguistics. My research project focuses on age-related changes in the impact of emotional context on language predictive coding through event-related potentials(ERPs).
Szu-Chi Amanda Lin
Graduate Institute of Linguistics National Taiwan University
I received a B.S. in mathematics at National Taiwan University and am currently pursuing a master's degree at the Graduate Institute of Linguistics with a focus on neurolinguistics. How the human brain is capable of processing mass information such as language itself has always fascinated me. In particular, I am profoundly intrigued by the language-emotion interplay as it relates closely to the essence of humanity. For instance, much work has been devoted to predictive language processing in the extant literature, yet whether emotion plays a role — and if so, how — in facilitating such cognitive processes is less understood. I am therefore excited to see what we might discover along the way.
Wei-Hung Lin
Department of Psychology National Taiwan University
I received a B.S. in psychology at National Taiwan University, with minior in foreign languages and literatures as well as Cognitive Science Program completed. Currently, I am a master’s student in the Department of Psychology at NTU. My research interests focus on how emotional connotation is acquired through contexts and whether affective valence modulates this learning process in young adults. Recently, I also participate in a project examining the impact of bilingualism on language development in children.Undergraduate Students
Yi-Wen Huang
Department of Psychology National Taiwan University
I am an undergraduate student in the department of psychology at National Taiwan University. I find the study of language really fascinating since it reveals unique aspects of human cognition. I am especially interested in the interplay of language and emotion.
Wei-Chen Huang
Department of Psychology Department of Bio-industry communication and development National Taiwan University
I am an undergraduate student in the department of Bio-industry communication and development and double major in psychology at National Taiwan University. I’m interested in cognitive neuroscience and clinical psychology.Research Assistant
Yi Chun Ko
Graduate Institute of Linguistics National Taiwan University
I’m a master’s student in the Graduate Institute of Linguistics at National Taiwan University. I’m broadly interested in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, specifically in referential resolution, lexical/referential ambiguity and the role of working memory in language processing. My current projects include 1) using statistical learning paradigm to investigate the role of right hemispheric responses in syntactic processing, and 2) increasing the referential load to investigate the underlying neural mechanisms of the Nref effect (an ERP component elicited by referentially ambiguous expressions)Alumni
