Greta Tuckute is a PhD student in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. She uses fMRI scanning and computational models to study how the human brain processes language. In this episode, we discuss some of the recent progress in this exciting field, the similarities between artificial neural networks and the human brain, and future directions for this research.

Greta Tuckute: Language, Computers, and the Brain

Hi, I'm Thomas Hikaru Clark! I grew up in Tokyo in a multi-cultural family where I learned to be always curious about the world. I've worked at a startup in Rome, been a high school teacher, meditated with Zen Buddhist monks in Japan, volunteered in Russia, and studied rituals in India. I now study language and cognition at MIT. Each episode, I talk with a guest and try to learn something new. There's no consistent theme between episodes, and the episode titles usually don't cover everything we talk about!
