Hi all.

I am currently a PHD student in cognitive and computational neuroscience. I 
was looking for some conlang as a starting base to explore some ideas to 
improve human information processing assisted by computers (lets simplify 
and say improve reading). I particularly needed it as a start point to be 
easily to parse so I got very interested by Lojban unambigous grammar and 
decided to use it for my experiments. 

So I have two main questions for the community:

1) For the grammar and other aspects of the language like the phonetics, 
the ortography and vocabulary. Are there any informal records, simulations 
or experiments leading to settling down on the particular aspects of the 
language? For example selecting the set of phonemes could be based on some 
kind of optimization.

2) What is the estimate of people in the community and their fluency. Do 
you think people in the community would be interested in participating in 
cognitive experiments designed for Lojban? 
Some experiments might be paid and all results would be public and I hope 
leading to peer reviewed publication.

I think research on Lojban might also be great advertisement for the 
language and the community. I particularly started learning it myself, I 
find it fascinating.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your future answers.
