Lunch Talks

12h Prof. David Poeppel, Max-Planck-Institute Frankfurt &New York University • 13h Lunch • Confirm attendance (mandatory) by sending an email to lunchtalks@ilcb.fr Aligning ears and mouths: the consequences of synchronizing heard and spoken language The brain has rhythms, and so does speech. It is a fortuitous outcome of recent research that the temporal structure of […]

La lésion cérébrale qui provoque une aphasie engendre certes ipso facto un déficit linguistique. Ce déficit ne se caractérise cependant pas, dans la très grande majorité des cas, chez ces patients, par une « perte de compétence », comme l’avait cru R. Jakobson sur la base de données cliniques rapportées par d’autres (K. Goldstein et A.R. Luria, en particulier) et très largement « sur-interprétées » par lui-même !

Information-oriented and cross-language aspects on speech and cortical rhythms by François Pellegrino (CNRS & Université de Lyon, Dynamics of Language Lab UMR5596) During the last two decades a growing body of evidence has shown a close relationship between temporal structure of speech and neural oscillatory activities, especially in the theta and gamma bands. More specifically, […]

Human learning depends on multiple cognitive systems related to dissociable brain structures. These systems interact not only in cooperative but sometimes competitive ways in optimizing performance. Previous studies showed that manipulations reducing the engagement of frontal lobe-mediated explicit, attentional processes can lead to improved performance in striatum-related procedural learning.

An inter-disciplinary discussion at ILCB In our modern science practices, it would not be surprising to hear that the three most important assets for a scientist are… publication, publication, publication! But what exactly is a publication? The answer to this question could be very different across disciplines, and many of its significant aspects are evolving. […]

Meyer (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen The Netherlands)  : Towards processing theories of conversation 13h Lunch Confirm attendance (mandatory) by sending an email to lunchtalks@ilcb.fr   […]

Brains in Harmony: the role of brain-to-brain synchrony in naturalistic social interactions Neuroscience research has produced tremendous insight into how the human brain supports dynamic social interactions. Still, laboratory-generated findings do not always straightforwardly generalize to real-world environments. To fill this gap, I collaborate with scientists, artists, and educators to take neuroscience out of the laboratory, into schools, […]

Prospects for Collaborative Research between Latin Palaeography, Cognitive Psychology and the Neurosciences Twenty years ago, Brian Stock, the distinguished Canadian historian of medieval literature and philosophy, published Augustine the Reader, a seminal resource for examining the patristic vocabulary for reading in the fifth century C.E.  The Latin verbs videre and inspicere came to be closely […]

"Musicians at the cocktail party: Neural correlates of bottom-up and top down mechanisms" Robert Zatorre Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University Segregating sound mixtures makes demands on multiple cognitive and neural mechanisms that musical training may enhance or exploit. In a series of studies we have documented the music-related enhancement behaviorally in the context of speech […]
