Sara obtained a Ph.D. from University of Udine in 2014 with a thesis on the linguistic assessment of patients with aphasia. After a postdoc at University of Nova Gorica (SLO), she joined LIMBO lab in 2017. Sara tries to understand how patterns of a meter can enhance our ability to keep poetry in long-term memory.

Vezha is a postdoc working with Alessandro Treves. She is broadly interested in memory and language from a neural network perspective. More specifically, she investigates the principles that may be held accountable for questions of a quantitative scope such as the capacity for the storage of semantic memories in the cortex, but also how the specific organization of such memories impacts on the dynamics of the network, as an attempt to understand the complexity of grammar and that of our train of thoughts. 

Jon completed his PhD at the University of Edinburgh, where he explored the evolution of language and conceptual systems through a combination of computational modelling and experiments. Jon is interested in Bayesian and information-theoretic approaches to learning and reasoning and how such principles can explain the high-level complexity observed in human behaviour and the culturally evolved phenomena that arise from such behaviour. At SISSA, Jon has joined Davide Crepaldi's Language, Learning and Reading lab to work on statistical learning in reading. Personal website: https://joncarr.net 

Alessandro believes that science is the best tool we have today to explore nature and understand ourselves. His experiments aim to explain a complex phenomenon from the neuronal level to the behavioural one. He is currently investigating multisensory perception in rodents, by employing a novel experimental design which he developed.
