The sleeping brain is constantly monitoring the balance between the internal homeostatic demands and the need to monitor the external environment in order to detect potential threats or relevant information. Far from passive\, the sleeping brain continually negotiates between internal homeostatic needs and the imperative to remain attuned to the external world\, in case of threats or salient stimuli. In doing so\, it oscillates along a dynamic continuum between deeper\, disconnected states and lighter phases marked by heightened information processing. Oneiric (dream) experiences seem to take part in this process and reflect the underlying cyclic patterns of sleep and wake regulation. Are dreams simply epiphenomena or inherent aspects of the sleeping brain? Do they reflect random neural activations or convey personally meaningful information? In this talk\, I will explore these questions through the lens of contemporary dream science and cognitive neuroscience\, integrating insights from interdisciplinary fields such as neuropsychoanalysis and consciousness research. \n  \nBibliographie prĂ©paratoire  \nYuval Nir and Giulio Tononi. Dreaming and the brain: from phenomenology to neurophysiology Trends in Cognitive Science 14(2)\, 2009. doi:10.1016/j.tics.2009.12.001 URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/exploration-interdisciplinaire-des-reves-et-du-cerveau/ LOCATION:IMĂ©RA CATEGORIES:Seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250423 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250426 DTSTAMP:20260408T072144 CREATED:20240905T124322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250113T114640Z UID:35160-1745366400-1745625599@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:JournĂ©es de l’ILCB Ă  Porquerolles DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/journees-de-lilcb-a-porquerolles-2/ CATEGORIES:JournĂ©es de l’ILCB END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250327 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250328 DTSTAMP:20260408T072144 CREATED:20241121T101200Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T085731Z UID:35453-1743033600-1743119999@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:the annual docs&postdocs workshop\, DESCRIPTION:  \n \nLanguage of sounds and sounds of language \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/the-annual-docspostdocs-workshop/ LOCATION:FRUMAM\, 3 place Victor Hugo\, Marseille\, 13001\, France CATEGORIES:EvĂšnement postdoc et doctorant END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250317T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250317T120000 DTSTAMP:20260408T072144 CREATED:20250310T131713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250310T131834Z UID:35704-1742209200-1742212800@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:The Origin of Language: Insight from neuroethology of gestural communication in nonhuman primates DESCRIPTION:Adrien MEGUERDITCHIAN (Eq. DĂ©Phy) \n  \nWhere: Salle des VoĂ»tes \nSummary: Language is an unique communicative system involving hemispheric lateralization of the brain. To discuss the question of its origins\, I will highlight the works on the communicative gestures in our primate cousins and their brain correlates. Indeed\, nonhuman primates communicate mostly communicate not only with a rich vocal repertoire but also with manual and body gestures. In the last 20 years\, we investigated this gestural system in the baboons Papio anubis\, an Old World monkey species\, as well as its lateralization and cortical correlates across development\, using both ethological\, psychology and longitudinal noninvasive in vivo brain imaging approach (MRI). In the present talk\, I will summarize our main findings showing similar key intentional\, referential “domain general” properties of language as well as some similar underlying structural hemispheric specialization including Broca\, the Planum Temporale and the STS. I will also present our recent MRI longitudinal work documenting their brain ontogeny from birth and how they pave the way for the further emergence of gesture lateralization across development. \nMore URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/the-origin-of-language-insight-from-neuroethology-of-gestural-communication-in-nonhuman-primates/ LOCATION:Salle des voĂ»tes\, St Charles\, 3 place Victor Hugo\, Marseille\, 13001\, France END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250228T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20250228T130000 DTSTAMP:20260408T072144 CREATED:20241125T082344Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250210T130956Z UID:35455-1740744000-1740747600@www.ilcb.fr 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.

DESCRIPTION:Marie MONTANT \nAbstract: \nBy focusing on language\, I will try to show that cognitive architectures are built from goal-driven perceiving and acting bodies in their physical environment\, a perceptive that holds for humans as well as other animals. To illustrate this theoretical position\, firstly\, I will show in humans that words conveying time information are tightly linked to body mouvements (Camille Grasso’s PhD thesis)\, that syntax is probably built on domain-general fine motor planification (RaphaĂ«l Py’s PhD thesis)\, that our lexica are grafted onto sensorimotor networks (Melissa Yavuz’s PhD thesis\, Anna Poberezhnaia master’s thesis\, Anne Kavounoudias collab.). Secondly\, I will describe the approaches of Lise-Habib Dassetto (PhD) and Paul Best (Postdoc) that address the questions of how communicative systems appeared during evolution and what kind of method we can develop to conduct fair comparisons between humans and baboons (Lise H.D.) or pilot-whales (Paul B.).

DESCRIPTION:Paul Best (Eq. Multisense & Body) has been awarded an 2024 ILCB post-doc grant to work on the topic of spatialised bioacoustics for the analysis of turn-taking in non-human interactions. Paul’s original background is in computer science and machine learning. During his PhD and post-doc in Toulon university\, he worked on automating the analysis of non-human vocalisations using neural networks. Paul has applied these methods to a range of species with a variety of research questions\, always working with long-term acoustic data recordings of free-ranging animals. Some of these projects include analysing the presence patterns of sperm whales\, characterising the evolution of song structure in fin whales\, and linking communicative complexity to sociality in orcas. Currently at CRPN\, Paul is working with recordings of pilot whales and cao-vit gibbons\, with a focus on how contextualising passive acoustic data with spatial information (the location of the vocalising animal) contributes to a better understanding of their vocal behaviour. \nAbstract: \nFor this seminar\, we will look at current research in passive bioacoustics\, especially regarding opportunities and limitations of using machine learning to study non-human communication. With the increasing use of long-term monitoring systems such as autonomous acoustic recorders\, the relatively young and growing field of computational passive bioacoustic is promising in collecting naturalistic data to contribute to ethological and evolutionary questions. Drawing on my research experience and project in this domain\, I will present what is and could be possible with such approach\, including with the use self-supervised learning\, case studies of cetacean communication systems\, the benefits of sound localisation and the relevance of integrating a musical perspective in the study of non-human communication.

These abilities are rooted in the robust and efficient learning mechanism of statistical learning\, which enables individuals to automatically detect regularities in their environment through exposure to multiple stimuli. Despite decades of research demonstrating the involvement of statistical learning in the formation of memory and internal models of prediction\, the cognitive and neural mechanisms underpinning statistical learning remain unclear. \nIn this talk\, I will share my team’s research on statistical learning over the past decade and discuss a series of behavioral and neurophysiological experiments designed to address newly emerging questions that uncover how statistical learning functions in the human brain across various encoding contexts. Specifically\, I will address three fundamental questions: 1) Is statistical learning disrupted in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders\, especially dyslexia?; 2) How do different types of statistical learning change across ages and interact with other cognitive functions?; and 3) What cognitive and neural mechanisms support statistical learning? \nIn conclusion\, I aim to demonstrate how new paradigms and theoretical frameworks are necessary to advance our understanding of how humans comprehend the probabilistic world\, the mind\, and the increasingly complex relationships between people and machines.

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.

It was there\, after the beginning of the construction of the cathedral in 1248\, that a remarkable lexical tone contrast arose from the contact between the hundreds of highly qualified immigrant craftsmen and thousands of local workmen whose employment was related to the building enterprise. With hindsight\, that tonogenesis can be seen as an experiment in pushing the conditions for L1 language acquisition to its limits: the tonogenesis occurred in declarative intonations\, yet in principle the tone contrast needed to be available under all intonational conditions. \nUnsurprisingly\, the embedding of the tone contrast in the intonation grammar led to a wide variety of solutions\, causing the dialects to vary in the number of intonation melodies (from 1 to 4) as well as in the pitch shapes of the tones. When focusing on individual dialects\, a unique typological feature becomes apparent: \nIt is not possible to specify the pitch shapes of the tones: These vary with intonational conditions. \nImportantly\, despite the high pressure that must have been placed on infants to create grammars for what must be seen as implausibly varied set of phonetic forms\, the grammars of the dialects known to date all conform to the model of Pierrehumbert (1980) and the assumptions of OT. The Limburgish data offer three confirmations of these models: \n\nThe star in T* is an instruction to associate with a *-marked TBU.\nEdge-aligned tones align their (R/L) edge with the (R/L) edge of some other phonological constituent.\nOT constraints are ranked.\n\nWith no basis in those models\, other work added the stipulations for (a) that T* must always associate\, for (b) that alignment implies association\, and for (c) that some rankings are ungrammatical. The Limburgish data prove those stipulations wrong. \nToday\, the survival of the tone contrast may depend on the function of Acc2 as a local identity marker. In fact\, this may be one route for tonoexodus. neutralizations would appear to occur through the generalization of Acc2. Another route lies in reducing the salience of the contrast: one case will be presented in which the tone contrast does exist\, but is phonetically too subtle for outsiders to hear as anything than repetitions of the same unremarkable standard Dutch intonation contour. A third way out is through reinterpretation of the tone contrast in terms of consonants\, vowels or vowel quantity. This will be illustrated on the basis of the Weert dialect.

Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies show that lexical-semantic system emerges together with early vocabulary during the second year of life (RĂ€mĂ€ et al.\, 2013; RĂ€mĂ€ 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 & RĂ€mĂ€\, 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 \nRĂ€mĂ€\, P.\, Sirri\, L.\, & Serres\, J.

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.

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.
