Parallel orthographic processing and reading

CIRM - Luminy 163 avenuede Luminy, Case 916, Marseille, France

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 […]

Understanding covert verbal actions as simulated verbal actions : Ladislas Nalborczyk , ILCB

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 […]

Interpreting machine learning in hearing, communication and language sciences: why, how, and the current challenges

Here is the link to the event : https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/j/99484117315?pwd=d3gyYmlDa2QycUpET3pxZ2x0LzNVQT09 "Interpreting machine learning ? Why and how ? " In the context of a cycle of talks organized by the ILCB post-docs, we are organising February, 11th (online) a talk/round table on interpretability. This event is dedicated to be informal and aims to be a place […]

Comparing brains across individuals and species via cortical folding patterns

KepKee and Olivier Coulon Abstract: A prominent feature of the human cerebral cortex is the presence of folds, or sulci. Even though cortical sulci look very different from one person to another, sulcal organisation is not at all random: it follows a topography that is highly conserved across human and nonhuman primates. Robust sulci-function relationships have mostly […]

The Socio-Computational Architecture of Language Acquisition Framework: Linking Social Language Acquisition with Artificial Intelligence.

Sho Tsuji (International Research Center for Neurointelligence, Univ. of Tokyo) Theories and data on language acquisition suggest a range of cues are used, ranging from information on structure found in the linguistic signal itself, to information gleaned from the environmental context or through social interaction. We propose a blueprint for computational models of the early […]

From prelinguistic communication to word use in typically hearing and deaf infants

Danielle Matthews (Department of psychology, The University of Sheffield) Around the end of the first year infants make the transition from prelinguistic communication (babble, gesture, eye contact) to word use. I will present a series of studies that have  1) measured individual differences that predict this transition  2)  tested experimentally if it is possible to […]

Linking Language evolution, language acquisition, and language diversity: How social and cognitive pressures shape learning and communication

Limor Raviv (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) ABSTRACT: What are the social, environmental, and cognitive pressures that shape the evolution of language in our species? Why are there so many different languages in the world? And how did this astonishing linguistic diversity come about? These are some of the most interesting questions in the fields […]
