Johannes Ziegler is a CNRS Research Director and Director of the Convergences Institute 'Language, Communication, and the Brain' at Aix-Marseille University. He chairs the Internal Scientific Council of the Pilot Center for Research in Education (AMPIRIC) and serves on France's National Education Scientific Council (CSEN). His research bridges cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and education, with a focus on reading mechanisms, dyslexia, and computational modeling.
Ziegler's work emphasizes:
- Cerebral basis of reading across languages
- Computational models of normal/pathological reading
- Development of digital literacy tools (GraphoGame, Hibou)
- Interventions for learning disabilities in underprivileged schools
His recent publications (2021-2025) demonstrate strong trends in:
- Neurobiological foundations of dyslexia using fMRI/neural imaging
- Predictive processing and statistical learning in reading
- Morphological/semantic influences on word acquisition
- Technology-assisted literacy interventions
Awards:
- CNRS Bronze Medal (prestigious French research award)
- Knight of the National Order of Merit (national honor)
