At the JEONG Lab, we investigate how people learn and use multiple languages, and how the brain supports these processes. Using neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and behavioral experiments, we explore how memory, emotion, and social interaction influence language.
We also aim to uncover, from both neurocognitive and social perspectives, the mechanisms by which individuals learn languages, communicate, and make multilingual and culturally grounded behavioral choices in diverse and international contexts.

202507.04 Embodied Emotion and Language: the Neural Substrates of Visceral Expressions of Emotion (Oral Presentation/Award-winning) Posted in Presentation

This study investigated how the neural processing of visceral expressions of emotion (e.g., 'heart fell apart') differs from that of general emotion labels non-specific to the body, and aims to contribute evidence for a more concrete picture of how language and bodily sensations work together to give rise to emotional experience.　This study was presented at the 2025 Korean Psycholinguistics Society Annual Conference (Seoul, Korea) by Sunny, student of Graduate School of International Cultural Studies, and won the Best Presentation Award.
