Dr. Anna Barbara Cieslicka is Associate Professor at the Psychology and Communication Department, Texas A&M International University, Laredo, Texas. Her main research interests focus on issues related to bilingual language processing, such as cross-linguistic interactions in the mental lexicons of bilingual language users and the mechanisms underlying bilingual figurative language comprehension. She is Principal Investigator at the National Science Foundation grant, which allowed installation of the Biosemi ERP/EEG Active Two Acquisition System in the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at TAMIU. Dr. Cieslicka is currently working on a project examining ERP correlates of processing English idiomatic expressions by Spanish-English bilinguals.
