Hello Visitor!

I am professor in the Department of Basic Neurosciences, University of Geneva and co-director of the NCCR Evolving Language. Before moving to Geneva, I was an associate professor in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience of Language in the School of Psychological Science, University of Bristol.

​

The NeuroLingo Lab that I direct (website update coming soon, old version here) employs EEG/MEG and behavioural methods to investigate the core phenomena related to the neural processes underlying language and memory. We are also interested in the ‘neural language’, i.e. the neural mechanisms that enable encoding categories, linear order or hierarchical structure and underlie key abilities in language and other cognitive domains.
A translational branch of the lab’s research aims to translate basic findings from research in neuroscience of language into applications for assessing language function and other cognitive abilities across a healthy lifespan, and in clinical conditions that affect audition and language.

Spring 2025 update: Interested in how the brain represents language or performs linguistic computations?
If you're looking for a PhD or postdoc position and are excited about exploring the neural basis of language, I’d be glad to hear from you!
