Research Interests

My research interest is in the understanding of neural mechanisms underlying human information processing, especially syntactic processing. Understanding of such mechanisms requires high spatiotemporal resolution recording of brain activities and mathematical analysis of such activities. Currently I am focusing on techniques that allow me to acquire very clean EEG data during fMRI recording in high-field MRI facilities.
