neurolinguists
Mind-tongue field experts
Neurolinguists are scientists who study how language is processed in the brain.
The field combines neuroscience and linguistics, examining how neural structures handle speech, comprehension, reading, and language disorders: Neurolinguists used brain imaging to map which regions activate during bilingual speech.
