Dendrophilia and the Biology of Language by Tecumseh Fitch

Amphithéâtre de CERIMED 27 Boulevard Jean Moulin, Marseille

An understanding of both the neural mechanisms involved in language, and their evolutionary history, requires incisive comparisons between humans and nonhuman animals. Ideally, such comparisons are grounded in an explicit, computational framework encompassing both formal and neural components.

Some recent developments in models of retrieval processes by Prof. Shravan Vasishth

Some recent developments in models of retrieval processes by Prof. Shravan Vasishth (University of Potsdam) In this talk, I will discuss some recent empirical and theoretical developments in cue-based retrieval theory . I will begin by talking about what we know so far about the underlying mechanisms driving retrieval processes in sentence comprehension and the […]

The computational neuroanatomy of speech production in the context of a dual stream framework for language by Greg Hickok

Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, France

The computational neuroanatomy of speech production in the context of a dual stream framework for language by Greg Hickok (Dept. Cognitive Sciences & Language Science - University of California Irvine) The dual stream framework for the cortical organization of language is grounded in evolutionary biology in that it proposes an organization that is homologous to […]

The Temporal Dynamics of Word Processing in Hearing and Deaf Readers by Phillip Holcomb

The Temporal Dynamics of Word Processing in Hearing and Deaf Readers by Phillip Holcomb, Department of Psychology, San Diego State University, San Diego (United States) In my talk I will discuss a recent line of research in our lab where we are comparing electrophysiological measures of word processing in hearing and deaf adult readers. Because […]

Information-oriented and cross-language aspects on speech and cortical rhythms

Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, France

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, several recent models suggest that the neural capacity to track speech dynamics and rhythmic patterns is crucial for speech processing and understanding. […]

Processing time with our auditory system by Christian Lorenzi

• 12h Prof. Christian Lorenzi, CNRS & Ecole normale supérieure, Paris, France Processing time with our auditory system Debate on how speech information is represented in the auditory system has revolved around the role of two neural/perceptual features encoding the temporal modulations of the acoustic signal (the “temporal envelope”, ENV, and “temporal fine structure”, TFS), […]

Aligning ears and mouths: the consequences of synchronizing heard and spoken language by David Poeppel

Amphithéâtre de CERIMED 27 Boulevard Jean Moulin, Marseille

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 […]
