Welcome!

My group investigates the neural mechanisms underlying language with a specific emphasis on tracing the neural information processing. The work is highly inter-disciplinary, building strongly on anatomy and physiology, on the one hand, and cognition and behaviour, on the other. We use formal and/or computational models to bridge these disparate levels of investigation and develop a coherent, integrative approach to understanding language.
