The Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) is an academic society that promotes rigorous research and coordinates annual conferences directed toward understanding the nature, function, and underlying mechanisms of consciousness.

This position, within the FWO-funded STATMIND project, investigates how prior linguistic knowledge shapes the statistical learning of new linguistic regularities.
