We investigate the principles and mechanisms of human language processing and acquisition. Our primary focus is semantics and its relations to grammar, logic, perception and cognition. Our research involves studies of brain and behavior, typical and atypical development, linguistic theory, language technology and computer models.

The Lab houses modern experimental equipment for eye tracking, motion tracking, electroencephalography, optical imaging and social robotics. We arrange open days and on-site visits with presentations and demonstrations for the public. Contact us if you want to be notified about our dissemination events or if you want to book a visit.
