Nai Ding

Dr. Nai Ding is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics investigating neural mechanisms underlying language processing. His work examines how cortical activity tracks hierarchical linguistic structures through neural oscillations and predictive coding frameworks. Current research explores multi-scale neural entrainment to linguistic units and temporal dynamics in auditory perception.

His experimental paradigms investigate how the brain anticipates content ('what') and timing ('when') of sensory events using EEG and neurophysiological methods. Collaborative projects advance laminar-resolution neurovascular modeling and long-term hippocampal recordings, contributing to understanding of predictive processes in cognition.
