Dr. Shain uses computational and experimental methods to study language and the mind, particularly (1) the cognitive processes that allow us to understand the things we hear and read so quickly, (2) the learning signals that we leverage as children to acquire language from the environment, and (3) the role played by real-time information processing constraints in shaping language learning and comprehension.
Dr. Corinne Beinat completed her PhD in Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Sydney in 2014 focusing on the development of novel small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of neurological disease. She then completed her postdoctoral training with Dr. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir in radiochemistry and molecular imaging before joining the department as an Instructor in 2019 and then as an Assistant Professor in 2022.
The overarching goal of Dr. Keller’s Laboratory (kellerlab.stanford.edu) is to improve brain stimulation treatment for neurological and psychiatric disease. Specifically, his lab seeks to improve Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and other brain stimulation techniques by better understanding the fundamental principles of human brain plasticity and building trans-diagnostic real-time monitoring platforms for personalized brain stimulation.
