Research interests

Anita Bialunska is a Ph.D. candidate who has been working in the MPB Lab from the very beginning. Her research interests concern the relationships between perception and action, sensorimotor synchronization and music cognition, with a particular interest in rhythm perception and production. Anita exploits various techniques from the behavioral study of healthy individual and experts to the study of neurological deficits and electrophysiology (ERP).

Anita is currently investigating the dissociation between music and language in sensorimotor synchronization. She is also engaged in research projects conducted in the Laboratory of Psychophysiology under the supervision of Prof. Piotr Jaskowski. Anita’s research is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (project title: The role of masking in subliminal motor priming).
