Principal Investigator
Prof. Marco Marelli
Principal investigator of the project, unjustifiably proud of the “BraveNewWord” pun. Trying to put together psychology, linguistics, neuroscientific methods and computational approaches to better understand how we use language to structure meaning and make sense of the world around us.
