Post-doc Position in the Cognition and Brain Plasticity Unit (University of Barcelona)
A two-year post-doctoral position is opened at the Cognition and Brain Plasticity Unit (www.brainvitge.org) of the University of Barcelona associated to the ERC Starting Grant leaded by Ruth de Diego-Balaguer. The project studies how attention oriented in time has an important role in Language Learning both in the course of development and in learning a second language. The relation between attention and language learning is relevant also for our understanding of language deficits and their rehabilitation. The different studies in the project combine MRI data (DTI with tractography, fMRI) and EEG and are developed in infants, children and healthy and neurological adult participants.
