Very excited to announce that I received an SNSF Ambizione Grant! ☀️

Growing Minds, Integrating Senses: Neural and Computational Insights into Age-related Changes in Audio-Visual and Tactile-Visual Learning in Children Multisensory processing and learning shape cognitive and language development, influencing how we perceive and interact with the world from an early age. While multisensory processes mature into adole...

🧠 Excited to share my first preprint! Dive into my latest research on audio-visual and tactile-visual multisensory learning and explore the findings. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

The structural covariance of reading-related brain regions in adults and children with typical or poor reading skills Structural covariance (SC) is a promising approach for studying brain organization in the context of literacy and developmental disorders, offering in…

Very happy that this is finally out! We investigated the structural covariance of brain regions associated with reading and compared it between adults and children as well as between individuals with typical and poor reading skills.

I am very excited and grateful that the Fondation Frutiger will support my new project on anhedonia in adolescents and young adults! I will combine clinical, behavioral, and MRI-based measures to investigate and compare different dimensions of (dys)functional reward processing.

Also featuring some of my brain are pieces.

Really excited that I managed to launch my own academic website. 🎉 ameliehaugg.com

We invite applications for joint positions at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Science and at the Faculty of Medicine to work on two projects in the framework of the NCCR Evolving Language (www.evolvinglanguage.ch). The two projects are on : (1) how sleep modulates the neural mechanisms implicated in our access to words (e.g., tip of the tongue phenomenon) in neurotypical young and old adults, and in patients suffering from aphasia following stroke; (2) the organization of the lexico-semantic system in speakers with variable demographics (e.g., age, languages spoken) and neurological conditions (i.e., stroke and primary progressive aphasia patients). Both projects involve a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging methods (fMRI and MEG respectively).

Into the cognitive neuroscience of language? Sophie Schwartz, Marina Laganaro, and I (@nocelab.bsky.social)are looking to fill two phd/postdoc positions within the @nccrlanguage.bsky.social Join us: bit.ly/LangCogNeuro #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #CogSci #langsky

Maybe the amygdala is not angry or sad or afraid – it’s just misunderstood!

New issue of Mind, Brain & Education ! Devoted 100% to the Special Issue on Executive Functions & Dyslexia - a whopping collection of 19 (!) articles, from Dyslexia Foundation's 2022 Symposium. Edited by Astrid Zuckerman, Peggy McCardle & Laurie Cutting:

I can't believe that it has been 3 years since I defended my PhD! Because of COVID-19, I had to have a Zoom defense, but my friends gave me this life-size cutout of a German parody singer to attend in person.

I am very excited to visit Boston for the next couple of months to do a research project on anhedonia (with Diego Pizzagalli, Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli, and others).

Therefore, I am happy about any recommendations (Where do I get the best bread?) and am totally down for any meet-ups. :)
