Julie Bertels

After a PhD in Psychology, I set up the ULBabyLab, a lab based at the Faculty of Psychology (ULB) and dedicated to studying the development of cognitive and language abilities, since infancy. I joined the LN²T in October 2017 as a postdoc, and started developing research projects aiming at investigating the neural correlates of these early abilities. From 2020, I have a permanent position shared between the Faculties of Psychology and Medicine (ULB). In that context, I want to develop these research activities that combine the use of behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, as well as neuropsychological tests, in order to gain a deeper understanding of how attentional and learning abilities develop in the first months and years of life.
