Arash Aryani

Dr. Arash Aryani is a Research Fellow at University College London's Department of Biological Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, supported by the DAAD PRIME Fellowship. His work bridges cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and affective science through neurocognitive analyses of language processing.

• Education: PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (2018, Freie Universität Berlin)

Research focuses on how sound and meaning interact in language processing, particularly in affective contexts. Key areas include phonological iconicity, semantic integration, and neural responses to emotional coherence. His work employs ERP studies, brain imaging, and computational modeling to explore these phenomena.

Recent publications examine sound-meaning integration in taboo language, affective iconicity in poetry, and neurocognitive models of bilingual processing. The DAAD PRIME Fellowship supports his interdisciplinary investigations into affective language processing and its neural correlates.

His collaborative studies span emotion description analysis, poetic text assessment, and phonological saliency studies. The department's affiliation with UCL positions him at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and advanced linguistic analysis.
