The Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) is offering a PhD position within the BIBALANCE project, recently funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project aims to investigate the impact of early bilingualism on the brain's resilience to dyslexia. Specifically, we will examine whether bilingualism can help mitigate early genetic susceptibility to dyslexia by following bilingual children with and without a family history of dyslexia, from before the start of formal reading instruction (the final year of kindergarten) through to two years after (end of Grade 2), when dyslexia can be reliably diagnosed. 

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.

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.
