Heming Strømholt Bremnes

Heming Strømholt Bremnes is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Electronic Systems at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), working within the SCRIBE project on Norwegian language technology, dialect variation and evaluation metrics for large language models. He also holds an MA in Scandinavian linguistics from NTNU (2013) and an MSc in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh (2015), and he completed his NTNU PhD in 2023 with a dissertation on the neural correlates of quantifier verification.

Research interests span large language models, artificial intelligence, cognitive neuroscience, neurolinguistics, formal semantics and the philosophy of language. His empirical work combines behavioural experiments and EEG to probe how computational complexity of quantifier meanings is reflected in brain activity and memory load.

Public outreach: Bremnes is a frequent panel member on NRK P2’s radio programme Språksnakk, where he answers popular questions on Norwegian grammar, etymology and usage.

Recent articles (2022-2024) concentrate on the cognitive and neural foundations of quantifier processing, demonstrating that differences in computational complexity leave detectable signatures in both behaviour and brain activity.
