Our research at BogaertsLab focuses on the cognitive science of learning and language. This position is part of the FWO-funded project “Growing a Statistical Mind: The Interplay Between Emerging and Existing Linguistic Knowledge” (STATMIND). STATMIND aims to investigate the dynamic interplay between previously acquired linguistic knowledge (including semantic properties of language structures) and the incidental learning of new patterns. To this end, we employ a range of methods, with a focus on behavioral experiments and electroencephalography (EEG).
We are excited to announce the winner of the 2026 ESCoP Early Career Publication Award for PhD students!
