Guillaume Thierry

Professor Guillaume Thierry is a cognitive neuroscientist at Bangor University's School of Psychology and Sports Science, specializing in bilingualism and semantic processing. His research explores how the brain transforms sounds, symbols, and experiences into meaningful thought through electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, and neuroimaging techniques.

• Key Research Areas: Bilingualism, linguistic relativity, semantic access, language-emotion interactions, developmental dyslexia, and second-language processing.
• Awards & Grants: Funded by the European Research Council, British Academy, ESRC, and other major bodies.

His recent projects include 'Real-time linguistic relativity' (2018-2022) and 'Translanguaging: The bilingual learning advantage' (2012-2014). Articles demonstrate his focus on cross-linguistic cognitive differences, emotional processing in bilinguals, and neural mechanisms of language switching.
