Prof. LI Jixing (李吉星)

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences (Affiliate) at City University Hong Kong. My research applies computational models to understand how the human brain represents and computes semantic and syntactic information during language comprehension.

Computational neurolinguistics, 
Encoding and decoding of speech in the brain, 
Neural representation of syntax and semantics
