CV

My name is Laura Maffongelli.and I am a postdoc in the Babylab. I studied Linguistics and my research interests focus on the relation between language and action with respect to the syntactic mechanisms involved. I investigate the neurophysiological basis of the processing of complex action sequences during action observation from a developmental perspective. Specific interest lies on how similar phenomena might, or might not, relate to the processing of complex sentences in language. EEG is the basic method of my investigations.
