Research Interests:
Parisa is a second year doctoral student in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). She is a multilingual individual fascinated by how languages interact in the brain. Currently, Parisa works graduate assistant in CSD, dual with Social and Behavioral Neuroscience (SBN) at SANDLab. Her research journey began with an EEG study on syntactic priming in healthy bilinguals during her master’s program. As an NSF-NRT LINDIV trainee, she plans to explore how different languages influence semantic organization in the bilingual mind and how human-technology interaction would facilitate this. Through this work, she aims to deepen our understanding of bilingualism, language learning, and the intricate relationships between linguistic diversity and cognition by utilizing AI tools. Her research with LINDIV complements her ongoing projects at SANDLab, including studies on syntactic priming in aging adults and individuals with aphasia.
