vasishth lab: people

principal investigator

	Shravan Vasishth Sentence comprehension processes.

lab manager

	Dr. Ruben van de Vijver. Phonology---the sound patterns of language---and its acquisition. Especially the acquisition of morphophonology.

lab assistant

	Johanna Thieke. Managing eyetracking and EEG studies.

lehrstuhl mitarbeiter (teaching staff)

	Dr. Samar Husain. My research interests are natural language (NL) Parsing, NL Modeling, Dependency Grammar, and Cognitive Science.
	Pavel Logacev. Interference in sentence comprehension.

phd students

	Lena Benz. I'm interested in the processing of human language (including comprehension of auditory and visual speech) and in experimental linguistics (online methodologies like eyetracking or ERP). In my Master's thesis I investigated the semantic properties of cleft constructions using eyetracking.
	Felix Engelmann. My current project is the modeling of the interaction of higher-level language processing and eye movements.
	Sabrina Gerth. I'm interested in modeling human language processing by using dynamical systems. By this approach I want to find a way to bridge the gap between the symbolic computation of linguistics and the mathematical formalization of computer science and contribute to a better understanding of human sentence processing.
	Sandra Hanne. Working on understanding aphasic sentence comprehension processes using the visual world paradigm.
	Lena Jaeger. Research Interests: Sentence processing, cross-linguistic studies (focus on Mandarin Chinese).
	Titus von der Malsburg. Scanpaths in reading.
	Paul Metzner. Individual differences in sentence processing; co-registration of eye-movements and EEG.
	Bruno Nicenboim. Processing filler-gap dependencies.
	Umesh Patil. Computational and experimental investigation of the interaction between syntactic processing and memory, and the modeling of agrammatic sentence comprehension.
	Rukshin Shaher. Priming effects in reading.

master's students

	Eva-Maria Saur. Experimental syntax; binding in sentence processing.
