Project
The
project brings together the efforts of several research groups spanning
different scientific disciplines with the common purpose of addressing the
phenomenon of bilingualism. The project is conceived with an open and
multidisciplinary vocation, as one of its major anchor points places the stress
on the mutual influence (both in terms of cognitive and neural processes)
between bilingualism and other functions such as auditory perception,
multisensory integration, and the executive control attention. This is an excellent
opportunity to start an academic career for those interested in the fields of psychology, neurobiology,
cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines. These
positions are available mainly to conduct studies on multisensory integration
using behavioural/psychophysical methods, human electrophysiology and/or
neuroimaging.
