I currently work as a postdoc at the TNM lab, Philipps Univerity Marburg, headed by Prof. Dr. Benjamin Straube. Using primarily EEG, fMRI, and simultaneous EEG-fMRI methods, my research topics include but are not limited to:
-
Sentence-level language processing
-
Speech perception
-
Interaction between language (visual & auditory) and gesture
-
Action perception & predictive coding
-
Social interaction
-
Clinical aspects (psychiatric, e.g., schizophrenia) of topics above
