B03: Modelling the connection between eye-movement control, sentence processing, and brain signals

PI(s): Vasishth, Shravan, Prof. Dr. / Engbert, Ralf, Prof. Dr. / Rabovsky, Milena, Prof. Dr.

This project extends our previous mathematical modelling of the integration of eye-movement control and syntactic processing to include electrophysiological indicators during reading. We work with a process-oriented model in which prediction of behaviour is implemented at the level of individual subjects. As a long-term goal, we plan to also include neural processes in the model via electrophysiological markers to obtain a well-founded theoretical explanation of the dynamics of natural reading comprehension and its connection with individually variable eye movements and event-related potentials.
