Milena Rabovsky

Milena Rabovsky is a tenured Professor at the University of Potsdam, leading the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab within the Department of Psychology (Humanities Faculty). Her research bridges psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and computational modeling.

• PhD from Berlin School of Mind and Brain
• Researcher at University of Western Ontario, Stanford University, and Freie Universität Berlin

Her work investigates the N400 and P600 ERP components, focusing on semantic prediction errors, probabilistic meaning representation, and neural dynamics during language comprehension. She employs EEG, computational modeling, and pupillometry to decode how the brain processes linguistic meaning, attention, and memory encoding.

Recent publications highlight her 2024 studies on alpha frequency and predictive processing and 2023 work on multi-modal cognition. Her lab supervises PhD students like Friederike Contier and Siddharth Gupta, exploring topics like ERP components, deep learning language models, and semantic awareness. Contact details include her office at Campus Golm, building 14, room 4.37.
