My research focuses on understanding the interplay between memory and language in bilingual individuals, with a particular emphasis on prospective memory (PM). I investigate how different bilingual experiences and linguistic contexts influence PM performance. My work integrates behavioral data with neural measures, utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) to explore the brain activity underlying PM processes in bilinguals. This multifaceted approach aims to deepen our understanding of how bilingualism shapes cognitive functioning.
Currently, I am conducting a Global Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship between the University of Granada (UGR) and Northwestern University
