On the frontlines of speech science with Liberty Hamilton and Alex Huth

Last summer, UC Berkeley hired not one but two computational neuroscientists, Liberty Hamilton and Alex Huth, who study how the brain processes language. The pair has a lot more in common. Both received their Ph.D. at Berkeley before teaching at the University of Texas at Austin. Both now have joint appointments in the neuroscience and statistics departments. They’re also married.

UC Berkeley writer Alexander Rony spoke with Hamilton and Huth about their research and their return to campus.
