Alexia Dalski

Alexia Dalski is a Research Fellow and Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Psychology at Philipps-Universität Marburg, affiliated with the Educational Neuroscience team under Dr. Mareike Grotheer. Her research explores how learning shapes neural architecture, particularly in reading acquisition using fMRI and machine learning techniques.

Education:
She holds an M.Sc. in Psychology from Friedrich Schiller University Jena, where she investigated neural mechanisms of face familiarity and semantic processing using EEG and multivariate pattern analysis.

Research Focus: Alexia specializes in decoding the neural foundations of reading, examining how the Visual Word Form Area transforms visual symbols into meaningful language. Her work bridges psychology, biology, and data science, employing advanced computational methods to analyze neuroimaging data. Current projects investigate neural responses to text versus emojis and skill acquisition mechanisms.

Publication Trends: Her articles focus on cognitive neuroscience methodologies and visual processing, utilizing fMRI and pattern analysis to uncover neural signatures in face recognition and reading. Research consistently integrates machine learning with neuroimaging across diverse stimuli.

Laboratory Affiliation: She conducts experiments in the Educational Neuroscience Lab at Philipps-Universität Marburg, specializing in developmental and cognitive neuroimaging studies.
