Bright graph colours enthusiast working in psycholinguistics, language comprehension and aging, and aphasiology. Director of the PELICAN lab at LSU.
Spread the word! The @lsupelicanlab is hiring! We are looking for a wonderful PhD student to join us in Fall 2025. Don't miss out on the chance to work with such a vibrant team on aphasia, aging, cognition, and a whole lot more. Contact me at [email protected] for info :)
Pioneering online, webcam-based eye-tracking for clinical research: doi.org/10.1002/brb3.7… Read our newest publication to find out more about this exciting, accessible, and inexpensive method! @PurdueAphasia @lsupelicanlab
Do fundamental sentence processing behaviors change as we age? Are older adults more susceptible to memory interference during processing? Take a look at my new pub with @DrLLawyer in Topics in Cognitive Science 😃: doi.org/10.1111/tops.1…
Hot off the press! Exploring psychological organization of noun classes in an understudied Bantu language, Kinyarwanda, with @DrLLawyer, Kyle Jerro, Jean-Paul Ngoboka, and Fate O'Gara: doi.org/10.5070/G60112… - suggests knowledge of an L2 fundamentally changes noun organization!
We are thrilled to share this post! @DrWSvBoxtel has been an amazing addition to the @PurdueAphasia lab and integral to our aphasia research. The lab wishes Dr. van Boxtel the best in his next giant leap to Assistant Professor! #PurdueSLHS x.com/PurdueSLHS/sta…
We're excited to announce that Dr. Willem van Boxtel has taken on a new role, Assistant Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge! Please join us in congratulating him on this achievement. 👏 #PurdueSLHS @PurdueAphasia
Thanks to everyone who came by our @PurdueAphasia poster on online eye tracking at #SNL2023 – a crucial step to improve sample size and diversity.

Presenting exciting findings from structural priming rehabilitation in Aphasia at #SNL2023 with @PurdueAphasia's Jiyeon Lee - come by poster B51 to discover how we improve sentence production post-stroke!

Day 3- great talks by @DrWSvBoxtel Giuliano gilardone and others on #syntax #aphasia #AoA2023
When we don't think of 'sentence comprehension' as recall of information from memory, but take a more sensitive and implicit view, older adults show little to no declines. Read my new @LPlusLab paper with @DrLLawyer: journals.sub.uni-hamburg.de/hup2/jlar/issu…
Can people with aphasia implicitly learn to focus their attention to specific actors in a to-be-produced sentence through priming? Do eye movements show evidence of this? Our new study at @PurdueSLHS @PurdueAphasia will reveal all! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Undergraduate student, Nadia, presented a poster today @PurdueOUR Undergrad Research Conference. Mentored by Post-docs, Willem van Boxtel @DrWSvBoxtel, Dr. Josh Weirick @Lingwitchsticks & Dr. Jiyeon Lee @PurdueAphasia. So proud of the work our students accomplish! Great job!
The Purdue Aphasia Lab team presented @ the Purdue HHS Life Inspired Week Research Poster Symposium this am. Great job team! Definitely should be in the running for a prize!! 👍🏼
The 2023 edition of my long-running anti-establishment art-science-fusion code-therapy smooth-baritone causal inference & Bayesian data analysis course is complete. 20 lectures, from the basics of causal inference & Bayesian updating to mixed models & Gaussian processes. 1/2
Are you interested in giving back? Consider participating in our research study at Purdue. In addition to people with aphasia, we need healthy adults for our training study. See the flyer and email/call us today!

Wishing you a fabulous holiday season! The lab elves will be enjoying a much needed rest. We will be back again in early January!
Hot off the presses! Our holiday newsletter is ready! Click on this link to view: purdue.edu/hhs/slhs/aphas…
In addition to completing amazing research, we like to socialize together! Members of Dr. Lee's Aphasia Lab got together last night for an end of semester/holiday dinner. It also included a fun white elephant gift exchange!
Today, I teach interactions in my stats class and this example by @GioraSimchoni is still my favorite

Excellent last talk by @DrWSBoxtel on aging effects.. great #science #aphasia all the way to the end!
Listen to @DrWSvBoxtel present at #AoA2022, Platform Session 6!
