Karolina Rataj
HeadPhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psycholinguistic Studies. I am interested in language processing, especially in creativity, the role of executive functions in semantic processing, and semantic processing disorders. I examine the neurocognitive processes that underlie creative and novel figurative language comprehension and how these processes are reflected in event-related potentials and neural oscillations. I explore these aspects in various contexts, including monolingual and bilingual language processing and comprehension.

Agnieszka Lijewska
Acting HeadPhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psycholinguistic Studies. I am interested in how people knowing more than one language process words and sentences. In particular, I examine how the languages known to an individual interact during reading and speech comprehension and how this process is affected by similarities across languages. My recent research interests also focus on language processing in simultaneous interpreters and translators.

Paula Orzechowska
PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Contemporary English Language. I am interested in the neuro-cognitive foundations of phonological processing. My research centres on uncovering the mental representation and processes through which words in typologically different sound systems are processed. In particular, I work on phonotactics and word stress of selected Slavic, Germanic and Afro-Asiatic languages, and look for evidence for abstract typological complexity using response latencies and electrophysiological responses of the brain.

Hanna Kędzierska
I am a post-doctoral researcher in ADIM project at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. My main research interests include psycho- and neurolinguistics, multilingualism and figurative language processing. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the processing of foreign-accented speech, focusing on data obtained with the aid of event-related brain potentials technique. My recent research interests also focus on phonemic contrast perception by multilingual speakers.
