Common ground for action-perception coupling and its consequences for speech processing by Sonja A. Kotz (Dept. of Neuropsychology and Psychopharmacology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands & Dept. of Neuropsychology, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany) Sonja.kotz@maastrichtuniversity.nl 11h While the role of forward models in predicting sensory consequences of action is well […]

Music and Language comprehension in the brain – a surprising connection by Richard Kunert (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and Radboud University Nijmegen, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior, Nijmegen) RiKunert@googlemail.com 14h Salle des voûtes, fac St Charles, Pôle 3 C How the comprehension of instrumental music and spoken or written language is implemented […]

Discourse Prosody and Sentence Processing in Prelingually Deaf Teenagers with Cochlear Implants by Katherine Demuth 17h30 LPL, The past few years has seen major improvements in the early diagnosis of hearing loss, early intervention, and device improvements. Much of the assessment of language development has focussed on the early years, with assessment of hearing levels, […]

Deep learning models of perception and cognition by Marco Zorzi (University of Padova, Italy) Deep learning in stochastic recurrent neural networks with many layers of neurons (“deep networks”) is a recent breakthrough in neural computation research. These networks build a hierarchy of progressively more complex representations of the sensory data through unsupervised learning. Using examples […]

Séminaire exceptionnel ILCB Vendredi 29 Mai 2019, 11h00 Prof. Zaven Paré Sonzai-Kan and Cognition (Behavior Monitoring Interpretation for Interaction Design) Les capacités de jeu La présentation porte sur les biais cognitifs dans des expérimentations mettant en jeu l'AI, la robotique et l'interaction sociale (avec ou sans embodiment) dans 4 configurations de jeux avec 4 dispositifs. Les quatre parties de […]

Parallel orthographic processing and reading Jonathan Grainger (Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive, CNRS & Aix-Marseille University Marseille) In written languages that use an alphabetic script, orthographic processing lies at the heart of the reading process, enabling visual information to make contact with linguistic information. Indeed, reading can be viewed as a bi-directional interaction between the processing […]

Mental imagery of actions or “motor imagery” is accompanied by subjective multisensory (e.g., auditory, visual, kinaesthetic) experience. For instance, while reading these words, you may experience the auditory sensation of an “inner voice” accompanying your reading. Since the first explorations of the phenomenological and psychophysiological properties of such imagined actions, there has been considerable efforts […]
