Welcome! I am a Ph.D. student specializing in cognitive neuroscience. As a member of the spoken language group, I am studying at BCBL (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language) in San Sebastián, Spain. Currently, I am working on a project about speech perception with Dr. Efthymia Kapnoula and Dr. Arthur Samuel. Specifically, we use eye-tracking techniques and various behavioral tasks to examine the predictors of individual differences in speech categorization gradiency and listeners' recovery in lexical garden paths in L1 (Spanish) and L2 (English).
My research interests lie in bilingualism and language processing in different modalities. I am particularly interested in the factors that contribute to individual differences in learning a second language, especially in listening and reading.
Before my Ph.D., I have obtained my undergraduate and M.Phil degrees in Psychology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Under the guidance of Dr. Urs Maurer, I conducted studies on neural adaptation and mismatch negativity in typical readers and children with dyslexia using EEG during my M.Phil. and I examined language switch costs in different modalities (i.e., reading, writing, speaking, and listening) in my undergraduate thesis.
