About
Junyuan's research centers around language representation and comprehension in neural systems (human brain and artificial neural networks). He investigates the computations and principles that underlie our ability of combining simplex concepts (as syntactic units) in a symbolic, hierarchical, and infinite manner into complex utterances (or, if this is actually real in the first place). He is also interested in how this fascinating mental capacity relates to other domains of cognition. To approach these questions, he uses M/EEG, behavioral experiments and/or computational modelling. He is a member of the Computational Neurolinguistics Lab led by Prof. Jonathan Brennan. [Email Junyuan if you want to learn more about Cognitive Neurosci (x NLP)]
