Marcel Bastiaansen, PhD, is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics working within the Department of Neuroscience. His research focuses on neural oscillatory dynamics as measured through EEG and MEG, specifically examining how different frequency bands correlate with language processing mechanisms. His primary research interests include: Neural Oscillations in cognitive processing Language comprehension mechanisms Theta-band, beta-band, and gamma-band dynamics Predictive coding frameworks in neuroscience EEG/MEG measurement techniques Dr. Bastiaansen's work investigates how oscillatory brain activity reflects the coupling and uncoupling of neuronal networks during language comprehension, with particular attention to how different frequency bands relate to specific linguistic processes like lexical retrieval and sentence integration. His research suggests that low-frequency oscillations (theta-band) relate to lexical retrieval, while high-frequency dynamics (beta/gamma) correspond to sentence-level integration of lexical items, with potential interpretations within predictive coding frameworks.
