His research focuses on psycho/neurolinguistics, particularly predictive mechanisms in linguistic and visual processing. He employs multimodal methodologies including EEG, fMRI, deep neural networks (LLMs, convolutional networks), and behavioral measures. Key themes include semantic networks, bilingualism, prediction error representations, and the neurocognitive role of the N400 ERP component.

Recent publications address topics like stimulus dependencies in brain encoding, bilingual language control adaptations, and neural signatures of prediction during natural listening. His work has been funded by the Polonez BIS grant (2022/47/P/HS6/02294) from Poland’s National Science Centre.
