Research

How do number processing and mathematical thinking work in children and in adults? How are they implemented in the brain? What are the typical and atypical developmental trajectories of these skills?

Our research projects investigate these questions, looking into the relation between numbers, space, language and associated cognitive functions.

Written words: How are they learned and recognized? How are they represented in the brain?

We study these questions in children and adults, aiming to better understand typical reading and dyslexia.
