语言病理与发展神经科学实验室

This laboratory is located in the School of Foreign Languages and Literature at Wuhan University. The theme of this laboratory is to improve the quality of life and happiness of people with neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, Prader Willi syndrome, and Parkinson’s disease. This laboratory is devoted to conducting research on people with special needs to build trajectories of atypical developments compared to typical developers and to develop interventions with technologies in cognitive neuroscience.

This laboratory recruits post-doctoral research fellows, PhD students, master students, and research assistants. If you are interested in conducting studies on neurodevelopmental disorders, language pathology, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and developmental psychology, you are welcome to apply for these positions. Please email PI.
