Bringing together experts in linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, medicine and computer science to understand and to model the way that language functions.
The objective is to create a generic model of the processing of language and its cerebral bases.

FMRI-based identity classification accuracy in left temporal and frontal regions predicts speaker recognition performance
Virginia Aglieri, Bastien Cagna, Lionel Velly, Sylvain Takerkart, Pascal Belin Abstract Speaker recognition is characterized by considerable inter-individual variability with poorly understood neural bases. This study was aimed at (1) clarifying the cerebral correlates of speaker recognition in humans, in particular the involvement of prefrontal areas, using multi voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) applied to fMRI […]
Reproducibility in speech rate convergence experiments
Simone Fuscone, Benoit Favre & Laurent Prévot Abstract The reproducibility of scientific studies grounded on language corpora requires approaching each step carefully, from data selection and pre-processing to significance testing. In this paper, we report on our reproduction of a recent study based on a well-known conversational corpus (Switchboard). The reproduced study Cohen Priva et […]

Probing machine-learning classifiers using noise, bubbles, and reverse correlation
Etienne Thoret, Thomas Andrillon, Damien Léger, Daniel Pressnitzer Abstract Many scientific fields now use machine-learning tools to assist with complex classification tasks. In neuroscience, automatic classifiers may be useful to diagnose medical images, monitor electrophysiological signals, or decode perceptual and cognitive states from neural signals. Tools such as deep neural networks regularly outperform humans with […]
Cerebral Processing of Voice Information: From Monkeys to Deep Learning
How do we extract and process the treasure-trove of information in voices? Experiments involving techniques ranging from monkey neuroimaging to deep learning provide an increasingly detailed picture of the ‘vocal brain’ and its evolution in primates. Results suggest an organization in several ‘voice patches’ analogous to that of the face patch system. Pascal Belin, Institut […]

Interspecific behavioural synchronization: dogs exhibit locomotor synchrony with humans Charlotte Duranton, Thierry Bedossa, Florence Gaunet. Behavioural synchronization is widespread among living beings, including humans. Pairs of humans synchronize their behaviour in various situations, such as walking together. Affiliation between dyadic partners is known to promote behavioral synchronization. Surprisingly, however, interspecific synchronization has recived little scientific […]
Dendrophilia and the Biology of Language
ILCB Lunch talk was held by Tecumseh Fitch the 01/30/2018 An understanding of both the neural mechanisms involved in language, and their evolutionary history, requires incisive comparisons between humans and nonhuman animals. Ideally, such comparisons are grounded in an explicit, computational framework encompassing both formal and neural components. I review work comparing humans with nonhuman […]
