Dear members of the ILCB,
Hope you are all fine. Just a quick word to remind you that the deadline of our postdoc call is coming up in less than a month. If you are interested and available to supervise a postdoc or a PhD student in 2022, it is not too late to fill out the questionnaire to facilitate interested candidates their search for available and eligible supervisors or collaborators. We update this information once a week on our web site.
We have an extremely rich and diverse scientific program in March, with an international workshop organized around two HDR defenses (Kristof Strijkers and Adrien Meguerditchian), and a “Mind Fair” organized as “Walk through language, communication and the brain”. We also welcome Prof. Martin Pickering as an ILCB international visiting professor. Martin Pickering is a world-leading expert on the psychology of language and communication, including language production, language comprehension, dialogue, and bilingualism, with a focus on syntax and semantics.
One final note. We will need your help with the collection of the indicators, which we have to send to the ANR with our annual report (e.g., number of PhDs, grants, distinctions…). We will shortly send you a link inviting you to provide this information. (We promise it shouldn’t take too long!)
Best wishes,
Johannes |

“Literacy is all that, in the individual or in the culture to which the individual belongs, results, has resulted, or will result directly or indirectly from the development and use of the writing technology. [...] the impact of literacy on brain and cognition is disregarded by most, if not all, of the recent major theoreticians. [...] The most important reason is likely to be the double marriage of cognitive science since the last third of the 20th century with, on the one hand, evolutionary biology and neuroscience, and, on the other hand, informatics and computational science.”

Simplified texts improve reading fluency, especially for children with weak reading skills |
|
We created a reading app (called Hibou) which presents normal and simplified texts of the Alector corpus in a gamified environment. The Alector corpus is an open-access database in which texts can be chosen as a function of different criteria: length, age, type of text, and text difficulty. The texts are available in normal and simplified versions, with identical comprehension questionnaires for both versions. The whole set can be downloaded in PDF format.
