This month I am visiting Dr. Audrey Bürki's Cognitive Science: Language and Methods researh group at Universität Potsdam in Germany. The goal of this visit is to acquire the necessary tools to perform advanced statistical analyses of electrophysiological data (ERPs). Single trial analysis of ERPs has many benefits over tranditional ANOVAs and allows us to test experimental assumptions through statistical modeling.

The psychological reality of picture name agreement
In 27th November 2018 I was invited at the Center for Primary Care, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester to give a talk about my doctoral research on the cognitive neuroscience of word production. Met an amazing team of academics, clinicians and researchers. Interdisciplinary meetings always give us new and interesting perspectives.
Is lexical competition in word production really endogenous?

We proudly present CoNSALL: Cognitive Neuroscience of Second and Artificial Language Learning, which will be held from the 21st until the 23rd of September at Bangor University. Abstract submission deadline is 21st June! #CoNSALL2018
The conference welcomes papers and communications dealing with the cognitive bases of the acquisition and use of a second language or of an artificial language. Papers reporting results from experiments using methods that have a tangible relation to brain function are particularly encouraged (e.g., electrophysiology, in particular EEG and MEG, fMRI, NIRS, TMS, tDCS...), but also studies using methods from behavioural neuroscience such as eye-tracking, electrodermal conductivity, and modelling.
Currently running some very exciting Electroencephalography (EEG) experiments in word production. Here with my colleague and guinea pig, Jen.
In September 2017 I had the honour of presenting my doctoral research at a talk in the 23rd AmLaP (Architectures and Mechanisms of Language Processing) receiving valuable feedback from notable colleagues and researchers in the field. You can check an outline of my talk below:
