Tijuana, October 16. Javier Samaniego Ojeda , a professor at the School of Humanities on the Tijuana campus of the Center for Technical and Higher Education (CETYS) University, was accepted to collaborate in the Bilingualism in Context Lab (BiC Lab) of the Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
The 2024-2025 UCSD BiC Lab brings together undergraduate and graduate students from Southern California, East Asia, and, for the first time, Mexico.
Samaniego Ojeda is a Master's student in Neuropsychology and will participate in research on bilingualism and cognition.
"I am proud to have been accepted by the world's leading Cognitive Science laboratory and one of the most important in terms of scientific production and innovation today," he commented.
During his stay at UCSD, the academic, who is also a psychologist at the Student Development Center (CEDE), will work directly with Anne L. Beatty-Martinez, director of the BiC Lab.
The UCSD BiC Lab specializes in the relationship between language and cognition, using an innovative approach that integrates multimodal experimental methods such as electroencephalography, eye tracking, and pupillometry.
