Overview

Gregory Hickok is affiliated with the University of California, Irvine in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience and developmental and educational psychology. Additional subfields of study include experimental and cognitive psychology, social psychology, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

The scientist has made contributions to several main topics, including:

  • Neurobiology of Language and Bilingualism
  • Reading and Literacy Development
  • Neuroscience and Music Perception
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Language Development and Disorders
  • Hearing Loss and Rehabilitation
  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces

Among their recent publications are:

  • "Language prediction mechanisms in human auditory cortex" (2020), published in Nature Communications
  • "Agrammatism and Paragrammatism: A Cortical Double Dissociation Revealed by Lesion-Symptom Mapping" (2020), published in Neurobiology of Language
  • "The dual stream model of speech and language processing" (2022), published in Handbook of Clinical Neurology
  • "Individualized response to semantic versus phonological aphasia therapies in stroke" (2021), published in Brain Communications
  • "Functional differentiation in the language network revealed by lesion-symptom mapping" (2021), published in NeuroImage

Gregory Hickok frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Julius Fridriksson, Argye E. Hillis, Alexandra Basilakos, Leonardo Bonilha, and William Matchin.

The scientist has published extensively in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Neurobiology of Language, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Brain, and Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research.
