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.
