Research Areas

    The scientific activities of the Neuro-Psycholinguistics Laboratory emerge at the intersection of language, mind, and brain, integrating the latest advancements in linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.
     Our research is dedicated to uncovering the mechanisms through which language organizes, expresses, and models thinking—across its theoretical, sensory, cultural, and technological dimensions.

Our main research areas include:

  1. Neurocognitive Foundations of Language and Thought Processes
    We investigate the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in speech perception, production, and semantic processing using tools such as EEG, GSR, and other biometric technologies.
  2. Cognitive Differences Between Natural and Artificial Intelligence
    We explore the structural, linguistic, and semantic distinctions between human and artificial modes of thinking, with an emphasis on the informal, psychosemantic, and subconscious nature of natural consciousness.
  3. Linguistic Thinking and Cognitive Flexibility
    We examine cognitive transitions and adaptive strategies that occur through language, focusing on the dynamic structure of thinking.
  4. Psychosemantic Fields and Linguistic Identity
    We study the semantic territories of speech units as psychoconstructive fields that reflect layers of self-perception, experience, and cultural belonging.
  5. Ontological and Phenomenological Foundations of Language-Thought
    The laboratory explores layers of language-thought and inner experience that transcend formal analysis, focusing on experiential consciousness, inner speech, deep sources of meaning-making, and language as an embodied manifestation of lived experience.
  6. Socio-Psychological Factors in Communicative Behavior
    We analyze the interplay between linguistic choice, social roles, emotional resilience, and the influence of sociocultural environments.
  7. Communication as a Multilayered Dynamic System
    We study communication as a multifunctional process encompassing linguistic, psychological, paralinguistic, emotional, interpersonal, group-level, intercultural, and technological components.
    This includes both oral and written structures as well as digital communication, non-verbal cues, interactive gestures, and the neurocognitive prototypes of communicative intent.
  8. Cross-Cultural Language Perception and Semantic Structures
    We employ comparative, associative, and hybrid methods to investigate how language perception and semantic systems vary across cultures.
  9. Development of Linguistic Tests and Psychosemantic Methods
    We design innovative tools such as associative tests, visual and subconscious analysis methods, enabling the assessment of linguistic flexibility and the structure of meaning.
