Thomas C. Gunter

Thomas C. Gunter is a Researcher in the Department of Neuropsychology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. His work focuses on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying language processing and acquisition across developmental stages.

His primary research domains include:

• Neuropsychology of language systems
• Second language acquisition trajectories
• Neurocognitive foundations of language learning
• Child language development and processing
• Bilingualism and cognitive control
• Electrophysiological correlates of linguistic processing

Dr. Gunter leads the Child Lab, which investigates how neural mechanisms support language acquisition from infancy through adulthood, with particular emphasis on cross-linguistic comparisons and developmental neuroplasticity. His research integrates cognitive neuroscience methodologies to examine real-time language processing in diverse populations.
