Funded Ph.D. Candidate Position - Recurrent Network Models of Statistical Learning, Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language, Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

Statistical learning (SL) is a crucial capacity supporting efficient cognition and action throughout the lifespan. SL is an organism’s ability to attune to coherent covariation in its environment (e.g., an infant learning sound patterns of a language, or visual patterns corresponding to objects). This project uses recurrent neural network modeling to investigate the types of computations that may support human SL. The modeling motivates EEG and MEG studies with human subjects. Together, the modeling and experiments will advance our understanding of the nature and computational basis for human SL.

Funded Ph.D. Candidate Position in an ERC Advanced Grant Project “Cortical Rhythms”, BCBL, Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language, Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However early biomarkers of speech processing deficits that have been documented in reading disabilities such as Developmental Dyslexia (DD) have yet to be identified. Here, we will explore whether the cortical tracking of speech (CTS) - the temporal alignment between fluctuations in the speech signal and fluctuations in electrical brain activity – can predict later reading deficits in DD.

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However early biomarkers of speech processing deficits that have been documented in reading disabilities such as Developmental Dyslexia (DD) have yet to be identified. Here, we will explore whether the cortical tracking of speech (CTS) - the temporal alignment between fluctuations in the speech signal and fluctuations in electrical brain activity – can predict later reading language and reading development from infancy stages.

Funded Postdoctoral Researcher Position in an ERC Advanced Grant Project “Cortical Rhythms” (Computational Neuroscience), BCBL, Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language, Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However, biologically constrained models of spoken and visual word recognition are still lacking, particularly in the domains of bilingualism. Here, we will investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of speech and reading in bilinguals and second language learners using data collected with advanced neuroimaging tools in our lab.
