Biography

Yury Shtyrov is a professor at the Centre of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) at Aarhus University. His research focuses on the neurobiology of speech and language, particularly concerning health and disease. With thirty years of experience in neuroscientific research, he leads the NeuroDynamics of Human Communication (NeDComm Lab), which investigates the brain’s language circuits using MEG, EEG, and TMS technologies. Shtyrov's work emphasizes the dynamic processes of how the brain stores and accesses linguistic representations, examining neural memory circuits, syntax, and pragmatics. Additionally, he explores the effects of ageing and neurological deficits on language processing, alongside developing neuroscience-based assessment methods for communication impairments. He has extensive international collaborations, contributing to both administrative responsibilities and teaching across various graduate programs.
