Statement of Purpose to Join the Forum (max. 200 words)

My research focuses on the neural correlates of language processing, particularly in Standard Indonesian, using electrophysiological methods. The Hong Kong Laureate Forum presents an invaluable opportunity to discuss my work with leading experts and explore new directions in cognitive neuroscience. I am especially interested in the sessions on cognition and the brain. I am confident that the Forum will provide a stimulating environment for intellectual exchange and collaboration.

Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

I investigate the neural basis of language and cognition, exploring how the brain processes linguistic information. My research uses electrophysiological methods to examine cognitive processes such as sentence comprehension and semantic interpretation, contributing to our understanding of the brain-language relationship.
