Rui Lui works as a postdoc researcher at Ghent University (PI: Lara Bardi). Rui studies human communication with eye/motion-tracking, M/EEG, fMRI, psychopharmacology, and social network analysis. She is now combing experimental semiotic paradigms and EEG hyperscanning to examine behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying real-time interpersonal adjustment during conventionalization of partner-specific communication system. She obtained her PhD at Donders Center for Cognitive Neuroimaging under the supervision of Ivan Toni. During her PhD study, she was investigating perception and production of communicative action. She is also working with Wim Pouw at Dynamic Signs and Signals group (DYNAMOS) at Donders, where they are investigating distinct manual kinematic signatures that speakers and signers used for communication.
