NEUROFEEDBACK RESEARCH ENGINEER POSITION – ERC CONSOLIDATOR GRANT – BIBALANCE
The Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL) is offering an Engineer 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 aim to determine whether highly efficient interhemispheric connectivity during speech processing could enhance the phonological and reading skills of children with and without dyslexia. The expected results of this project should have a significant impact on all the levels of translational research in contributing to identifying mechanisms that can be trained to foster cognitive strategies subtending learning how to read, and learning, more broadly.
Job description: The present project will focus on the design and implementation of a cutting-edge neurofeedback intervention using electroencephalography (EEG) focused on boosting interhemispheric connectivity during speech processing. The neurofeedback pipeline will be based on the real time analysis of the responses evoked by speech stimuli in the left and right hemispheres through EEG. The candidate will be in charge of developing pipelines and scripts in relation to the neurofeedback protocol.
