Claire Kabdebon is a developmental neuroscientist at CRPN, which she joined in 2023 as CNRS researcher. Her work explores the neural underpinnings of human learning, with a special focus on language acquisition. Using electroencephalography, she investigates how the developing brain discovers and encodes the sounds and structure of language. She was recently awarded with a research grant from the Fondation pour l’Audition to investigate the neural codes of speech perception and learning during the first year of life.
Claire Kabdebon obtained her PhD in cognitive neuroscience from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 2016 under the supervision of Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz. She completed postdocs at Yale University in the US with Richard Aslin and at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris with Sharon Peperkamp.
