BIO

Liz Schotter, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor, who joined the Cognition, Neuroscience, and Social program in August 2016. Her research focuses on understanding the neuro-cognitive mechanisms underlying language processing and comprehension during reading. Her research draws on theories and methods in cognitive science, neuroscience, linguistics, and experimental psychology and her research lab uses eye tracking, electroencephalography (EEG) and co-registration of these two methods.
