Markus Christiner

Markus Christiner is a researcher at the Institute of Psychology, University of Graz, affiliated with the Faculty of Natural Sciences. Their work explores intersections between music, language, and cognitive processes, focusing on individual differences in auditory perception and learning.

Research interests include:

• Musical ability and language acquisition
• ADHD/dyslexia in auditory processing contextsNeuroplasticity of the auditory system
• Phonetic aptitude and accent imitation
• Developmental psychology of singing and language performance
• Neuromorphological correlates of neurodevelopmental disorders

Publications emphasize neuroscientific approaches to music-language interactions, with methodological diversity spanning behavioral studies, longitudinal analysis, and neuroimaging. Key themes include cortical auditory processing patterns, cross-modal skill transfer, and developmental trajectories in musical and linguistic domains.
