My name is Christoph Scheepers: I am a Senior lecturer in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience. My main research areas are psycholinguistics and the psychology of language. I employ various brain-imaging and behavioural methods, including the recording of eye-movements during reading, and linguistically aided scene perception (visual-world paradigm). I have recently begun a Templeton-funded project (details here) to study paratexts (features of all literature that extend beyond the main text itself).
Biography
I obtained my psychology degree at the University of Bochum in 1991, and his PhD at the University of Freiburg in 1997. I held a two-year post-doc position at the University of Glasgow (1998-2000) before starting a C1 assistant professorship in computational linguistics at the University of Saarbruecken (2000-2003). I then held a lectureship in psychology at the University of Dundee (2003-2005) before moving to Glasgow in October 2005.
