-Language learning;
-Language neurotechnology.
These projects are carried out in collaboration with the
Centre of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) at
Aarhus University, Denmark, and other international
collaborators. CFIN is represented by Professor Yury
Shtyrov, who is a visiting professor at HSE and is

new laboratory. The postholder will have an advantage of

postdoctoral researchers and PhD students.
