Research interests
Magdalena Berkowska is a Ph.D. student who joined the MPBLab in October
2005. Her research focuses mainly on the analysis of sung performance
in healthy participants, in patients with brain damage and in patients
with Parkinson’s Disease. Magdalena worked as a research assistant in
MPBLab in the context of an International Reintegration grant financed
by the European Commission. Since 2007, Magdalena has worked also at
the University of Finance and Management in Warsaw as a lecturer.
