Vitoria Piai is a Principal Investigator specializing in language function and dysfunction at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour, Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands. With over 135 publications and 2,595 citations, her research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying language production using electrophysiological methods including EEG and MEG. Dr. Piai's research interests center on speech production, particularly examining the temporal dynamics of lexical and phonological processing. Her work investigates how brain oscillations relate to different stages of speech planning, how cognitive control mechanisms operate during language production, and how language networks adapt following brain damage. She employs various paradigms including picture-word interference, context-driven word production, and sentence comprehension tasks to explore these questions. Analysis of her recent publications (2024-2025) reveals consistent focus on neural oscillations during speech production, particularly examining alpha and beta band activity. Her work increasingly bridges cognitive neuroscience with clinical applications, investigating language production in aging populations, individuals with aphasia, and those with neurological conditions. She frequently employs multimodal approaches, combining behavioral measures with electrophysiological recordings to provide comprehensive insights into language processing. Dr. Piai has established significant research collaborations across institutions, particularly with colleagues at Radboud University, University of California Berkeley (where she completed postdoctoral work), and various clinical centers. Her work contributes to both theoretical understanding of language production mechanisms and practical applications for language assessment and rehabilitation.

Dr. Christoph Fraenz is a researcher at the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors (IFADO) in Dortmund, Germany, where he works within the Psychology and Neurosciences department in the Neuroimaging and interindividual differences research group under Prof. Dr. Michael Nitsche. His research focuses on the neural basis of interindividual differences in cognitive functions and personality, utilizing a multimodal approach combining psychometrics, fMRI, DTI and EEG methodologies. Dr. Fraenz's work primarily investigates how variations in brain structure and function relate to individual differences in intelligence, personality traits, and cognitive abilities across the human population. Dr. Fraenz completed his academic training with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Westfälische Wilhelms University of Münster (2009-2012), followed by a Master's degree in Psychology from Ruhr University Bochum (2012-2015). He earned his PhD from the Department of Biopsychology at Ruhr University Bochum (2015-2019) and subsequently worked as a Research Associate there (2019-2020) before joining IFADO. His publication record demonstrates a strong focus on understanding the relationship between brain structure/function and cognitive abilities, with recent work particularly examining white matter microstructure, neurite density imaging, functional connectivity patterns, and genetic correlates of brain organization. His research often employs polygenic scoring approaches to understand how genetic factors contribute to individual differences in cognition. Dr. Fraenz has published extensively in high-impact neuroscience journals including Cerebral Cortex, Nature Communications, NeuroImage, and Human Brain Mapping, with numerous collaborative publications featuring researchers like Erhan Genç, Caroline Schlüter, and Sebastian Ocklenburg.
