Seana Coulson is a cognitive scientist known for her research on the neurobiology of language and studies of how meaning is constructed in human language, including experimental pragmatics, concepts, semantics, and metaphors. She is a professor in the Cognitive Science department at University of California, San Diego,[1] where her Brain and Cognition Laboratory focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of language and reasoning.[2]
Coulson is best known for her research involving human use of conceptual blending, an unconscious process in human language that combines unrelated concepts into a single consistent idea.[3]
