Shun Liu

Shun Liu is a Grant-Aided Researcher and visiting postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology within the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä. His research focuses on cognitive mechanisms underlying speech and language processing in the human brain.

His primary research interests center on predictive processing frameworks, speech perception dynamics, and language comprehension systems. He investigates how acoustic-level mechanisms operate across voice onset time continua and examines the interplay between working memory loads and linguistic prediction processes using neuroimaging and behavioral methodologies.

Recent publications reveal consistent specialization in cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics, with emphasis on acoustic speech processing mechanisms and memory-load effects on language prediction. His work demonstrates methodological integration of neuroimaging techniques with experimental paradigms to explore real-time language processing.

Liu actively contributes to the Active Mind Research Group, which investigates neural information processing during interpersonal communication. As a grant-aided researcher, he secures external funding for projects examining brain mechanisms in speech perception and language comprehension, with ongoing work focusing on predictive coding models in auditory cognition.
