I lead the (very) informal Computational Psycholinguistics club, which brings together computationally-oriented language researchers from all parts of the Radboud University campus. Send me a message if you'd like to join our meetings!

Selected current projects

My current research interests include things like: language comprehension, computational modelling in cognitive science, multilingualism, computational linguistics, philosophy of mind, and any combination of these.

⟡ The language leak: the statistics of language as a novel window into the multilingual mind
⟡ Investigating syntax across languages using deep neural networks: (PhD research of Michelle Suijkerbuijk)
⟡ Enabling multilingual eye-tracking data collection for human and machine language processing research (EU COST Action project lead by Lena Jäger)

Selected past projects

⟡ Modelling cross-language priming in bilingual sentence production (PhD research of Yung Hun Khoe)
⟡ How to bridge neurobiology and psycholinguistic theory by computational modelling? This is a Language in Interaction consortium "Big Question" project that I coordinated
⟡ Occasionally, I collaborated in Gabriella Vigliocco's ERC project Ecological Language
⟡ Multimodal neural networks as cognitive models of language comprehension (PhD research of Danny Merkx)
⟡ The mechanism of language chunking - experimental and modelling approaches (PhD research of Jinbiao Yang)
⟡ Modelling bilingual sentence production and code-switching (PhD research of Chara Tsoukala)
⟡ Masculine generic pronouns: Investigating the processing of an unintended gender cue (PhD research of Theresa Redl)
⟡ The missing-VP effect in English and Dutch, and in first- and second-language reading
⟡ How does the amount of information conveyed by a word affect brain activity and reading time?
⟡ Syntactic and semantic systematicity in neural networks sentence processing
⟡ Models of knowledge-based inference and mental simulation during narrative comprehension
