Research Interests
Our focus of interest is centred in understanding cerebral development. We use a multidisciplinary approach, by combining medical, neuropsychological and magnetic resonance imaging data. Actually we are working in the following projects:
- Cerebral substrate of developmental amnesia: a MRI approach
- Neuropsychologic and morphological differences of the brain between pure developmental dyscalculia and with comorbid dyslexia
- Cognitive and behavioral profile on nonverbal learning disability (NLD), and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of its neural basis
- Cerebral plasticity induced by intensive phonological remediation in children with reading difficulties. A MRI study
- Cerebral plasticity induced by intensive remediation in children with mathematical difficulties. A MRI study
- Development of digital learning systems of mathematics
- Study of neural basis of gifted children using neuropsychological and neuroimaging data. GIFT.
Current Research Lines
- Dyscalculia
