To pursue this interdisciplinary interest, she joined the Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology (MaCSBio), Maastricht University, The Netherlands in 2015 for doctoral research. Under the supervision of Dr. Elia Formisano, Dr. Peter de Weerd, and Dr. Michelle Moerel, she worked on the computational modeling of the auditory cortex and the prospects of using computational models to improve the understanding of neuroimaging and behavioral data. She continued this work during her postdoctoral research in Maastricht with Dr. Federico de Martino and Dr. Martin Havlicek developing laminar (neuronal and hemodynamic) computational models and integrating with experimental data (fMRI, Electrophysiology) in Dynamic Causal Modeling Framework. She is currently working with Dr. Fred Dick and Dr. Lori Holt to understand (and then model) probabilistically weighted attention in audition.
Her primary area of interest is linking computational neuroscience and experimental data in audition.

ALPHALAB RESEARCH
Much of our research has been directed at investigating how language development, learning, and processing rely on domain-general skills and neural resources. An assumption underpinning much of theory and teaching in neurology and neuropsychology - both historically and today - is that the neural resources underlying language learning and use are highly specific to language, and divorced from more species-general brain regions and processes. The canonical example of such a putatively species- and domain-specific process is syntax. Our early work has shown that selective syntactic deficits arise from damage to domain-general brain regions, can be simulated cross-linguistically in healthy adults through acoustical and attentional manipulations, and can be modelled using basic statistics of language structure.
More generally, we have shown that multiple aspects of language development, learning, and breakdown are intimately linked with variations in more species-general abilities, such as auditory scene analysis of natural soundscapes and oromotor sequencing abilities. Many of the neural resources underlying processing of complex sensorimotor tasks are shared with analogous tasks performed with language. We have also shown that expertise in different non-linguistic auditory skills strongly shapes neuronal activation preferences in brain regions traditionally regarded as speech- and language-specific. These results lend support to our model of language as a constellation of expert skills acquired over years of learning - one that has been informed by my work in another canonical expert skill, face processing.
In order to understand how higher-level, human-specific skills such as language emerge from a brain organized around sensorimotor lines, we have also developed novel neuroimaging methods that allow for direct comparisons with cortical functional and myeloarchitectonic organisation in non-human primates. Coupled with novel language- and skill-learning paradigms, these basic neuroscience innovations hold great promise for progressing translational research in audition and communication.
