Nominator's project description
| Professor Hernandez is a leading cognitive neuroscientist who specializes on bilingualism. He has made important contributions to the understanding of the neural bases of bilingualism using a variety of methods including functional magnetic resonance imaging and near-infrared spectroscopy. In Germany, Professor Hernandez intends to further investigate how bilingualism influences other cognitive functions and how this may be influenced by genotypic differences. |
