Dr. Denise Klein
Denise Klein, current Director of the , is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, and a Neuropsychologist at the Montréal Neurological Institute (鶹AV). Dr. Klein is an expert on the neural bases of bilingualism and conducted some of the first neuroimaging investigations of bilingual language representation. She has published ground-breaking work over the past two decades, by combining behavioural methods with task-based functional neuroimaging (fMRI) to investigate how neural recruitment may be influenced by age of acquisition, proficiency, and the distinctive characteristics of languages. More recently, she has focused on developing expertise with techniques such as voxel-based morphometry (VBM), cortical thickness measures, diffusion tensor tractography, and resting-state fMRI.
