Biography

Pelle Söderström' is a Visiting Fellow from Lund University. He is funded by the Swedish Research Council grant: "Neurophusciological correlates of predictive mechnaisms in word recognition" since January 2020. In this project he is investigating how spoken words can be processed within a fraction of a second, and how listeners take advantage of clues in the speech signal as to how a word will end.

His main research interests lie within the fields of neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics. His doctoral thesis investigated the interplay between prosody and grammatical structures in the brain, using electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioural measures. He is interested in spoken language processing, focusing particularly on predictive mechanisms that make it possible to anticipate what someone will say next.
