Cognition and brain plasticity

Summary

The Cognition and Brain Plasticity research group conducts research in the area of cognitive neuroscience of language and executive function, particularly in language learning, bilingual processing and control of human actions. To achieve this, it uses a combination of different crucial neuroimaging techniques to better understand human cognitive functions. The group is also interested in brain plasticity; in this line, it studies the use of music therapy in the treatment of stroke patients.
