My research focuses on the biological foundations of language processing across both healthy and clinical populations. I hold an MA in Linguistics from the University of Warsaw (Poland), an MS in Cognitive Science and Language from the University of Barcelona (Spain), and an MS in Neuroscience from Pompeu Fabra University (Spain). I bring a diverse background to my current work. At the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, I investigated neural entrainment in musicians, studying how the brain synchronizes with rhythm patterns. At Harvard Medical School, I examined the neural mechanisms involved in natural conversation production in epilepsy patients and analyzed the role of specific white matter tracts in auditory hallucinations in individuals with schizophrenia. My work at FIDMAG (Spain) further focused on schizophrenia, where I explored naturalistic language production and phonological processing across various language symptoms to uncover key linguistic features of the disorder.
Building on this foundation, my current research, under the guidance of Professor Raskin, integrates neuroimaging with computational modeling, through which I aim to identify the neural mechanisms that support language production—a cognitive function as complex as it is seemingly effortless and very relevant to various clinical populations. This approach allows me to explore language processing at both the neural and computational levels, examining how the brain organizes, produces, and corrects language in real-time to address the fundamental question of the biological basis of human communication. By investigating these mechanisms, I seek to deepen our understanding of how language operates at a structural and functional level within the brain.
