Background and activities
Giosuè Baggio was educated in philosophy, logic and cognitive neuroscience in Pavia, Strasbourg, Amsterdam and Nijmegen. Before joining NTNU in 2014, he has worked at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, and at the International School for Advanced Studies.
He teaches topics in cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics and linguistic methodology in ENG1101, SPRÅK3000 and SPRÅK3300.
He leads the research project Origins of Semantic Composition in Early Cognitive Development, funded by the Research Council of Norway.
