Overview

Dr. Peelle obtained a master’s degree in cognitive psychology and PhD in neuroscience from Brandeis University, with postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania and the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, England. His research is centered on the psychological and neural basis for human communication, particularly in the interaction between sensory and cognitive, and social factors. Because of the central role of spoken language in our everyday lives, understanding contributors to speech comprehension can provide clues as to how we can maintain and improve communication success throughout our lives.
