Lunch Talks

Kate WATKINS Professeure à l'Université d’Oxford I will describe a series of experiments employing non-invasive brain stimulation in combination with measures of brain function, which explore how motor-to-sensory and sensory-to-motor interactions can be modulated during speech perception and production tasks. To study the role of the motor cortex in speech perception, we use transcranial magnetic […]

Adeen Flinker, PhD, New York University, Grossman School of Medicine, Tandon School of Engineering Speech production is a complex human function requiring continuous feedforward commands together with reafferent feedback processing. The cortical organization of these processes are largely characterized by dual stream models of speech (Hickok & Poeppel 2007, Rauschecker & Scott 2009), wherein Frontal […]

Hélène LOEVENBRUCK : Directrice de Recherche à l'Université Grenoble Alpes “I am not a man, I am Cantona.” “I love football.” As you silently read these quotes, can you hear Eric Cantona’s voice? Can you imagine his next sentence? Inner speech, or endophasia, can take various formats depending on the individual or the situation. It […]

Stephanie Ries Associate Professor, San Diego State University   The dorso-medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), including the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas as well as the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, has been a region of interest in studies of cognitive control and other areas of neuroscience for many years. Yet, traditional models of language production do […]

David Schlangen  : Professor, "Foundations of Computational Linguistics", University of Potsdam Abstract: In the first part of the talk I will present an overview of the activities of my group (Foundations of CompLing at Uni Potsdam), organised around the quest to understand how linguistic communication can yield shared understanding. I will present an analytical framework […]

Anne-Lise Giraud Abstract: The neural computations that make oral communication possible must operate on multiple time scales, both in parallel and recursively. Neuronal oscillations at different scales and their precise coordination are a key instrument of this necessary multiplexing, a phenomenon we are exploring in humans through surface and intracortical EEG. In this presentation, I […]

Jennifer Culbertson Human languages exhibit striking variation. At the same time, certain linguistic patterns crop up again and again, while others seem to be extremely rare. What these tantalising observations tell us about human language is one of the most contentious questions in linguistics. Do similarities between languages reflect a special capacity for language that […]
