Stan van der Burght

Dr. Stan van der Burght is an Assistant Professor at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics within Leiden University's Faculty of Humanities. His research focuses on sentence processing and production through neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic lenses, particularly examining prosody's role in communication.

• Academic Affiliation: Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL)
• Collaboration: Psychology of Language department at Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (Nijmegen)

Research Interests: Stan investigates how speakers encode prosodic cues (intonation, loudness, duration) during production and how listeners process these cues for sentence comprehension. His work bridges behavioral experiments with neuroimaging techniques to unravel mechanisms of prosody perception and production.

Scientific Awards:

• NWO Veni Grant (2025) for innovative intonation research

Publication Trends: Recent studies focus on EEG-based MVPA for stress pattern decoding, speech prosody analysis, and cognitive timing in language production. Keywords span neurolinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and speech perception.
