The Department of Psychology’s Brain, Language and Bilingualism lab will host an interactive stall demonstrating how the brain processes language and how bilingualism shapes cognition.

Our team will be on hand to explain the science behind these methods, discuss our current projects, and answer questions about bilingualism, language learning and cognitive neuroscience. This drop-in style activity is designed to be engaging for all ages, offering a fun and informative glimpse into how we study the multilingual mind.

Visitors will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on research activities, including a dichotic listening task that illustrates how the brain manages competing auditory information, and a demonstration of the methods we use to explore the bilingual brain.
