2021- present: Examining bilingualism as a dynamic linguistic experience: insights from brain function. PhD Project by Alex Sheehan

This project will investigate the impact of linguistic experience on structural and functional brain connectivity, and neural efficiency. A structural vs. functional connectivity analysis will first be conducted using diffusion and resting-state MRI, followed by a functional connectivity analysis using resting-state EEG, and finally, a neural efficiency analysis using ERP measurements. The project will examine specific aspects of linguistic experience (language use, AoA, proficiency, etc.) and their relative effects on brain function and efficiency by using non-linear effects modelling.
