Brain plasticity in norm and pathology, speech perception, development of novel computational approaches in neuroimaging, integrative neural modeling. I use various behavioral and neuroscience methods to investigate my research questions, including fMRI, PET, EEG, fNIRS, eye-tracking, psychophysical methods. I develop neural models and computational methods in Python, Matlab, C++.
