Dr. Alexis K. Black is an Assistant Professor in the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences, an associate member of the Department of Psychology, and an Affiliated Scientist at Haskins Research Laboratories.

Dr. Black studies language acquisition, learning, and perception.

She works with infants, children, and adults, and uses both behavioural and neuroimaging (EEG and fNIRS) techniques.
