He is well-experienced in psycholinguistic research methods, including reading paradigms (self-paced reading, eye tracking, RSVP), the visual world paradigm (online language comprehension), real-time language production, and EEG paradigms.
Johannes’ latest publication is from January 2025: Liang, M., Gerwien, J., Gutschalk, A. (2025). A listening advantage for native speech is reflected by attention-related activity in auditory cortex. Communications Biology 8, 180 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-025-07601-2

The CNSR receives a sleep laboratory funded by the Heidelberg-Mannheim Life Sciece Alliance. The laboratory is equipped with a 64-channel actiCHamp Plus EEG system, an infrared observation system and a BioPac system for peripheral physiological measurements and stimulation. In order to create an environment that is as comfortable as possible for our test subjects, the laboratory (no. 2 in the figure) is attractively furnished and air-conditioned. The experiment is controlled from the neighboring room (no. 1 in the figure). The first measurements are planned for the 2nd quarter.
