My research
My research focuses on linguistic diversity and how the human brain processes it. There are over 7,000 languages in the world, all of which are very different. What influence does grammar have on how language is processed in the brain? How does the way the brain works influence the development of languages? And how do children learn to use and understand their languages? In my research, I mainly use measurements of brain waves and eye movements.
