EXAMPLE!

Welcome to the home of the Chrono-linguistics Research Group. Our work is dedicated to a single, revolutionary question: Does the language we speak merely describe our experience of time, or does it actively construct it?

My research operates at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, computational linguistics, and temporal physics. We investigate the provocative theory of “Linguistic Relativity of Time,” which posits that the grammatical structure of a person’s native language fundamentally dictates their neural processing of past, present, and future.

For example, do speakers of “tenseless” languages (which grammatically equate past and present events) exhibit greater long-term planning abilities or a demonstrably different recall of episodic memory?

In the Thorne Lab, we use a combination of predictive AI modeling and fMRI neuro-imaging to map these “temporal-linguistic frameworks” within the brain. Our current flagship project involves analyzing whether learning a synthetic, logically-perfected language can enhance cognitive resilience and decision-making speed in high-stress environments.

This website serves as a portal into our ongoing research, recent publications, and available opportunities for graduate and post-doctoral work. I invite you to explore our findings and join the conversation on the very nature of how we build our reality.
