After obtaining a B.Sc in Psychology at Beijing Normal University (China), Xiaochen moved to the Netherlands for a joint research master program at Tilburg University and Radboud University, where she received her training in psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience (Cum Laude). In 2015, Xiaochen started her PhD at the Donders Institute, investigating cognitive control and monitoring processes in bilingual speech production using both electrophysiological and behavioral measurements. Besides her PhD thesis, she also closely collaborated on a MEG project on neuroplasticity after stroke. In 2019, Xiaochen joined the Motivation & Cognitive Control lab as a postdoc. In her current project, which is embedded within the Language in Interaction consortium, she is investigating the neural and cognitive mechanism of inference in language and action planning, using a combination of functional MRI and computational modelling.
