Biography

Matthew Husband is a Professor of Psycholinguistics at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow at St. Hugh's College. His research centers on the syntax-semantics interface and language processing, addressing questions about how sentence meanings are represented and whether these meanings are constructed online. He uses various behavioral and neurophysiological techniques, such as acceptability judgments, eye movements, electroencephalography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging, to explore the network of brain regions that support the composition of sentence meanings. He manages the Psycholinguistics Laboratory at the Schwarzman Centre for Humanities at Oxford, engaging in research themes related to syntax, semantics, and psycholinguistics, particularly in the context of sentence processing.
