About the Guest Editors
Milene Bonte is professor of Cognitive Neuroscience of Language and Literacy Development at Maastricht University. Her lab at the Maastricht Brain Imaging Center investigates cognitive and brain mechanisms underlying speech perception, reading and dyslexia. This research is performed in close collaboration with schools and dyslexia healthcare institutes, and ultimately aims at understanding (and predicting) the dynamic and variable processes underlying individual difference in children’s language and reading development.

Nienke is interested in how neuroscience interacts with society, and the challenge of optimizing the educational value of developmental cognitive neuroscience research. She is currently Vice-President of the International Mind, Brain and Education Society (IMBES), and co-chair of the UNESCO MGIEP International Scientific Evidence-based Education (ISEE) Assessment.
