About me
Doctor of Philosophy University of Potsdam
Masters of Science University of Potsdam
My research focuses on the development of a model of language that is neurobiologically plausible, i.e. that respects basic design principles of the human brain such as hierarchical organisation of different processing streams (dorsal vs. ventral) or separable but internally unified computational properties for each of these streams. In addition to this biological perspective, model development is inspired by the idea that language universals, which can be identified within and across the languages of the world, are informative for our understanding of the neurobiology of language.
