I’m psychology researcher interested in language comprehension and visual cognition. I’m especially interested in how people can understand each other, with a relatively good precision, although they do not always say what they mean (e.g., when they use figurative language); and what the reasons are why they sometimes fail in the comprehension process. I primarily examine these questions using eye tracking, and combining eye tracking with other laboratory measures. I currently work as Academy of Finland Postdoctoral Researcher in my project: "Irony comprehension across the lifespan"
