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 for professional growth for those interested in the fields of psychology, neurobiology,
cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines including computer science.
This
position is available mainly to lead brain imaging studies using fMRI of
multisensory integration (possibly complemented with other methodologies like
ERP, behavioral, etc…).
