Academic Achievements
  • Information not available
Research Experience
  • Research areas include:
  • - Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience
  • - Speech and Language Processing
  • - Investigating how speech and language are represented and processed in the human brain and AI systems, with a focus on Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • - Using advanced neuroimaging techniques such as MEG, EEG, and invasive iEEG to study natural speech (e.g., audiobooks) and uncover complex brain functions
  • - Studying phenomena like tinnitus and hyperacusis to advance understanding of pathological speech and hearing disorders
  • - Modeling how the brain organizes and navigates thoughts and complex information, such as linguistic structures, through neural network-based successor representations
  • - Developing biologically plausible models to simulate brain functions, advancing robust, explainable AI inspired by neuroscience
  • - Investigating the structural and dynamic properties of RNNs using theoretical physics methods like dynamical systems, chaos theory, and information theory
  • - Exploring the role of noise and randomness in neural information processing
  • - Understanding how auditory and speech perceptions emerge from interactions between top-down predictive coding and bottom-up adaptive stochastic resonance
  • - Using NLP tools to align continuous speech stimuli with neural recordings, enabling real-time analysis of linguistic processing in the brain
  • - Investigating neural responses to varying linguistic structures (e.g., words, phonemes) using NLP-based segmentation and forced alignment techniques
  • - Integrating computational corpus linguistics with neuroimaging to explore real-world language processing and generate hypotheses from large-scale datasets
  • - Developing cutting-edge methodologies to analyze and visualize high-dimensional, multi-modal neuroimaging data
  • - Applying NLP frameworks to enhance the precision of neural data synchronization and the study of linguistic phenomena in naturalistic conditions
  • - Addressing AI’s black box problem by reverse-engineering and interpreting the behavior of neural networks, including LLMs
