Bingbing Song, PhD in The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He used to examine the influence of prediction in written word and face recognition, the relationship between predictive processing and reading skills, and expertise of Chinese character processing in adult second language learners using behavioral and EEG methods. His current research interests include: 1) the role of prediction in perception and language processing; 2) the cognitive neural mechanism of statistical learning and its relationship with dyslexia; 3) second language processing and acquisition of Chinese as a second language.
