SUMMARY:Beyond typology: experimental explorations of language universals
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Culbertson \nHuman 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 has evolved only in humans? Do they reflect more general features of the human mind\, potentially shared with our ancestors? Are they just down to accidents of history? Traditionally\, linguists have argued for one or another of these answers based on limited sources of evidence. For example\, it is common to base claims on small samples of languages\, case studies of how a handful of languages change over time\, or examples of how individual languages are learned. In this talk\, I highlight problems with these traditional sources of evidence and survey what I see as the solution: cross-cultural experiments. I show how this approach can be used to bring crucial empirical evidence to bear on how language is shaped (or not!) by the human linguistic and cognitive system.

SUMMARY:Subdivide and Conquer. brain processing of musical melody\, harmony and rhythm
DESCRIPTION:Peter Vuust : Director of the Center for Music in the Brain (MIB)\, MSc\, PhD\, Prof. in Neuroscience\, Dept. of Clinical Medicine\, Aarhus University\, Prof. in Music\, the Royal Academy of Music\,  Aarhus/Aalborg\, Denmark\, Bassist and composer \n  \nMusic is ubiquitous across human cultures—as a source of affective and pleasurable experience\, moving us both physically and emotionally—and learning to play music shapes both brain structure and function. Music processing in the brain—namely\, perception of melody\, harmony\, and rhythm—has traditionally been studied as an auditory phenomenon using passive listening paradigms. However\, when listening to music\, we actively generate predictions about what is likely to happen next. This enactive aspect has led to a more complete understanding of music processing involving brain structures implicated in action\, emotion\, and learning. \nThe present talk is highlights how music perception\, action\, emotion\, and learning all rest on the human brain’s fundamental capacity for prediction—as formulated by the predictive coding of music model and elucidates how this formulation of music perception and expertise in individuals can be extended to account for the dynamics and underlying brain mechanisms of collective music making. This sheds new light on what makes music meaningful from a neuroscientific perspective. \n  \nAbout Peter Vuust \nProfessor Peter Vuust\, Ph.D. is a unique combination of a top-level jazz musician and a world class scientist. He leads the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Music In the Brain” and holds joint appointments as full professor at the Danish Royal Academy of Music and Dept of Clinical Medicine\, Aarhus University. \nHe has published more than 150 scientific papers in high ranking international journals\, most recently the review “Music in the brain” in Nature Reviews Neuroscience (March\, 2022). He uses state-of-the-art brain scanning techniques such as fMRI\, PET\, EEG\, MEG and behavioral measures and is a world leading expert in the field of music and the brain – a research field he has single-handedly built up in Denmark as leader of the center for Music In the Brain (MIB) currently employing more than 30 researchers. Among many other grants\, he has received DKK 98 million (~ US $ 15 billion) as PI\, from the Danish National Research Foundation. \nIn addition\, Prof Vuust is a renowned jazz bassist and composer; leading the Peter Vuust Quartet with Alex Riel\, Lars Jansson and Ove Ingemarsson of which seven records have been released so far. He has also played on more than 100 recordings and been sideman with international jazz stars such as Lars Jansson\, Tim Hagans\, John Abercrombie\, Dave Liebman and many more. He is the recipient of the 2009 Jazz Society of Aarhus’ “Gaffel”-prize. His album “September Song” was widely acclaimed by reviewers and received a nomination for a Danish Music Award in 2014. In 2022\, he released the album “Further to Fly”\, which contained jazz arrangements by Peter Vuust of the Songs of Paul Simon with unanimously excellent reviews. \nAs professor at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus\, Denmark\, he has taught electric and acoustic bass as well as music theory\, ear training and ensemble playing. He has given many keynote talks and masterclasses at international conferences and institutions on a wide range of topics ranging from the neuroscience of music to improvisation and composition. He has written three monograph’s “Polyrhythm and –meter in modern jazz; a study of Miles Davis’ Quintet from the 1960s”\, “Music on the Brain”\, and most recently a book on musical leadership.

SUMMARY:Development of the lexical-semantic organization in the infant brain: electrophysiological evidence
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Pia Rämä \nUntil recently\, there has been little evidence regarding how and when infants begin to integrate words into an inter-connected lexical-semantic system. Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies show that lexical-semantic system emerges together with early vocabulary during the second year of life (Rämä et al.\, 2013; Rämä et al.\, 2018). These studies also suggest that the N400 component is an useful tool to investigate lexical-semantic development in infancy. Some further evidence shows that lexical-semantic organization develops later in bilingual than in monolingual infants. There is mixed evidence as to whether lexical-semantic activation occurs similarly in dominant and non-dominant languages in bilingual language learners (e.g.\, Sirri & Rämä\, 2019). In my talk\, I will present our findings regarding neurophysiological mechanisms underlying lexical-semantic activation in monolingual and bilingual infants\, and I will also describe my recent findings on the effect of speaker familiarity on processing of word meanings. \nReferences \nRämä\, P.\, Sirri\, L.\, & Serres\, J.

SUMMARY:Revisiting the origins of meaning
DESCRIPTION:Klaus Zuberbuhler \n  \nThe three core properties of language – meaning\, syntax and social interaction – have received considerable comparative research attention in recent years\, driven by a desire to advance theories of language evolution. Somewhat surprisingly\, progress on the origins of meaning has been least remarkable\, after the initial pioneering discoveries of referential signals in primate communication some 50 years ago. Here\, I will revisit the problem of animal meaning and reference\, first\, by taking stock of the current state of the art and\, second\, by pointing out possible new directions of research. I will discuss new conceptual and methodological tools that are likely to provide progress in our understanding of the evolutionary transition from animal signal meaning to human linguistic meaning.

SUMMARY:The foundations of verbal working memory in the language system”
DESCRIPTION:Steve Majerus \nProfesseur à l’Université de Liège \nhttps://www.uliege.be/cms/c_9054334/fr/repertoire?uid=u182078 \n  \nMany models of verbal working memory acknowledge interactions with verbal long-term memory. The nature of these interactions remains\, however\, a matter of debate. I will present a series of behavioral and neuroimaging studies showing that (1) even subtle aspects of language knowledge such as syntactic positional knowledge can influence verbal working memory\, (2) the capacity and neural substrates of verbal working memory cannot be defined independently of the linguistic nature of the stimuli to-be-maintained\, (3) recruitment of deep semantic knowledge may not characterize all WM situations. Our results support hybrid linguistic models of verbal WM considering that verbal WM is grounded in the language system but cannot be reduced to it.

SUMMARY:Functionally specific multi-sensory brain networks and their plasticity
DESCRIPTION:Professor : Olivier Collignon \nEvolution has endowed humans with several senses allowing them to capture distinct forms of energies from their physical environment\, opening different windows through which we can experience the world around us. Being able to capture redundant sensory information allows us to build stronger representations and react faster to an event (eg  focusing on the lips while listening to a speaker in a cocktail party). How do we represent in our mind and brain a perceptual unit that we can see and hear (eg\, a corresponding phoneme/viseme)?  Is there representation somewhere in the brain that goes beyond the sensory experience we have of things? The presence of these different sensory systems also paves the way for considerable flexibility by allowing brain systems to supplement another following sensory deprivation. In the talk\, I will rely on the most recent data collected in my lab to suggest that crossmodal plasticity in blind and deaf people recycles the intrinsic multisensory scaffolding of functional brain regions\, with a specific emphasis on face and voice networks.

SUMMARY:Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Usha Goswami :Centre for Neuroscience in Education\, University of Cambridge \nDyslexia\, Rhythm\, Language and the Developing Brain \nRecent insights from auditory neuroscience provide a new perspective on how the brain encodes speech. Using these recent insights\, I will provide an overview of key factors underpinning individual differences in children’s development of language and phonology\, providing a context for exploring atypical reading development (dyslexia). Children with dyslexia are relatively insensitive to acoustic cues related to speech rhythm patterns. This lack of rhythmic sensitivity is related to the atypical neural encoding of rhythm patterns in speech by the brain. I will describe our recent data from infants as well as children\, demonstrating developmental continuity in the key neural variables. \n  \nMartin Pickering : University of Edinburgh \nAn augmented psychology of language

SUMMARY:Integrating Neural Noise and Neuroinflammatory Hypotheses: Exploring the Comorbidity of Dyslexia\, Depression\, and Stress
DESCRIPTION:Fumiko Hoeft \nRecent advancements in our understanding of dyslexia have highlighted the complex interplay between neurobiological mechanisms and comorbid conditions such as depression and stress. The Neural Noise Hypothesis (NNH) of dyslexia proposes that dysregulated neural activity\, characterized by excessive glutamatergic neurotransmission\, leads to the disrupted auditory and visual processing that typifies this learning disorder. Concurrently\, emerging research suggests that these neural irregularities may overlap with pathways involved in stress and depression\, pointing to a shared neurobiological foundation. This presentation explores the synthesis of the NNH with recent findings on the role of neuroinflammation in dyslexia and its comorbidities. Building on our foundational work (Hancock\, Pugh\, and Hoeft\, TiCS. 2017)\, and integrating recent insights into stress and mood disorders from neuroimaging studies\, we propose a model where dyslexia-related neural noise may exacerbate susceptibility to depression through neuroinflammatory pathways. This model is supported by recent research by Lasnick and Hoeft (Front Hum Neurosci. 2023)\, which provides compelling evidence of altered neural connectivity in regions critical for emotional and stress regulation in individuals with dyslexia. Furthermore\, this talk will delve into how environmental stressors and individual resilience factors contribute to the variability in dyslexia presentations\, particularly focusing on how these elements interact with neurobiological mechanisms to influence the severity and range of comorbid symptoms. By bridging gaps between disparate research domains\, we aim to foster a more comprehensive understanding of dyslexia that acknowledges its potential as a multisystem disorder with significant neurobiological and psychosocial dimensions. This integrated approach sets the stage for discussing potential interventions that target these overlapping pathways\, offering hope for more effective treatments that address both the core symptoms of dyslexia and its common comorbidities. \n
