About
I am a multidisciplinary researcher with background in experimental cognitive psychology and computer science. My primary research area includes mathematical modeling of decision making and information in small groups and biological networks. Scientific interests: multiagent and networked cognitive systems and computational methods of modelling cognitive and biological processes.
About
Before heading the PolkaNorski and StarWords projects, she led projects on the linguistic development of bilingual children (e.g., the Bi-SLI-PL project funded by NCN in cooperation with Jagiellonian University). She is the author of the method for creating Interlingual Lexical Tasks and co-author of standardized tests for assessing the linguistic development of Polish-speaking children. She has conducted numerous workshops for parents of multilingual children.

About
In my research, which falls within the fields of neurocognitive science and developmental neurocognitive science, I deal with the study of conceptual structures underlying knowledge about the surrounding reality and their development in different periods of life, from infancy to adulthood. The research conducted in my studio concerns the understanding of the categories of number, space, intentions and states of mind, object and the distinction between animate and inanimate objects, causality, as well as the mechanisms of attention aimed at extracting from the environment the information that is most important for the acts of categorisation performed. In my research, I use both classical experimental procedures and measures of brain activity during cognitive tasks, in particular eytracking and fNIRS. I am currently conducting research projects on (1) early development of number sense and relation of number representation to space, especially in the context of acquisition of symbolic number representation systems and cross-linguistic differences (Polish-German-English), and (2) most basic elements of social and animate world conceptualization, including brain bases of mind understanding and animate movement (primarily in development, but also in adults and subclinical and clinical populations). I also collaborate with BabyLab and on various projects by PhD students and other collaborators. More complete information can be found on the lab website: http://koncept.strony.psych.uw.edu.pl/

About
In 2008, he earned his doctorate at the University of Manchester with Professor Elena Lieven’s team. In 2016, he was the coordinator of a project to popularize knowledge about the development of bilingual children. He co-authored Polish adaptations of the CDI questionnaires, and is currently leading the development of adaptive versions of the CDI and the creation of a version of the CDI for older children.

ewa.malinowska@psych.uw.edu.pl
About
For many years, I have tried to combine my love of the natural sciences with my practice as a neuropsychologist. In particular, I am interested in the issue of ecological diagnosis and rehabilitation of executive functions in both children and adults; also among healthy people.
In addition to my typical academic duties – preparing and conducting various faculties, I am involved in work related to the reorganization of the specialization in neuropsychology, as well as activities aimed at improving the quality of education at our Faculty.

About
She has been the manager of several projects, not only related to bilingualism. She managed her own research project in which she studied stories created by bilingual parents and children in both their languages. Her research interests include trilingualism. She is currently working as a postdoc on the StarWords project.

About
I am conducting research on the effectiveness of methods of neuropsychological rehabilitation (including cognitive training using computer programs) and supportive therapy for people after focal brain damage using transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) and magnetic stimulation (TMS). Another area of issues of my scientific and clinical work is broadly defined neuropsychological diagnostics, especially with the use of computer tools. Besides, in my research I am interested in the processes of visual perception and visual attention, especially in relation to what happens at the level of the brain.

Courses
- Modern Psycholinguistics
About
My research interests focus primarily on social neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology, and the use of modern biomedical imaging techniques (mainly functional magnetic resonance and functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to study the neuronal correlates of cognitive processes. I am a grantee of the Foundation for Polish Science and the Fulbright Commission. I have co-authored more than a dozen scientific publications in national and international journals and dozens of conference presentations at national and international conferences.

Prof. Joanna
Rączaszek-Leonardi
PhD – Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, Florida Atlantic University (1995). I am interested in human cognition as arising from interactions with others, situated in the world. I think that at the heart of cognitive phenomena (and of building successful explanations of them) lies the problem of the relation between dynamic and symbolic aspects of cognition. I study human language as a particularly good manifestation of this problem, trying to employ three approaches that seem most promising: ecological psychology, dynamical systems and semiotics. Tackling such fundamental issues requires vast expertise, so the HILL’s role is to form collectives of cognitive scientists, computer scientists, psychologists, mathematicians, philosophers, anthropologists and others, engaged in studying how symbolic forms emerge from interaction and how they, in turn, influence our life.

About
I obtained the doctoral degree from Leiden University (The Netherlands) in 2013 investigating the underlying process of reading aloud during monolingual- and bilingual language processing with event-related brain potentials (ERPs). In 2012, I continued with the investigation of speech planning between alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages as a post-doctoral fellow. Following this post-doc, I worked at York University (Canada) from 2014, where I investigated whether bilingualism influence domain general control processes. After receiving the Rubicon grant from the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) I have started working at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain) where I am investigating the relation between language- and task switching for different types of bilinguals with the Juan de la Cierva grant from the Spanish government (MINECO).

About
I have a background in computer science and machine learning (MEng – Warsaw University of Technology, 2012, PhD – Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2017), but I was always drawn towards social sciences. I work with computational models and advanced techniques for analysis of experimental data (also in dynamical context, where data consists of long time series). My research interests include emergence of communication, study of unstructured interaction, categorization, complexity of human cognition.
