Prosody as a beacon for understanding a speaker’s stance and intentions
B011 LPL 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, FranceMarc D. Pell, de l'Université McGill Prof. Pell's research investigates how adults communicate their emotions, attitudes, or other social intentions while speaking, to better understand the social-pragmatic context of spoken language. Much of his work focuses on the effects of the human voice during pragmatic language processing and in social cognition. Members of his lab […]
Laboratory and field research – My experience with capuchin monkeys
Théâtre Antoine Vitez 29 Av. Robert Schuman, Aix-en-Provence, FranceElisabetta Visalberghi, Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Roma Italia. Abstract: The Swiss primatologist Hans Kummer demanded a strong interchange between laboratory and field research. In fact, it is often the case that the field researcher has questions that only proper experiments can answer, or that the laboratory researcher reaches […]
Language in the brain and algorithms.
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceJean-Rémi KING : Chercheur à l'Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris et Meta AI. It took less than five years for AI to revolutionize the field of natural language processing. Can the resulting algorithms help us understand this complex cognitive ability? Here, we develop state-of-the-art language models and compare them to the adult human brain. To […]

Typology of multilinguals’ languages and its relation to brain and cognition
B011 LPL 5 avenue Pasteur, Aix-en-Provence, FranceOlga Kepinska : Universität Wien Learning and using additional languages has been time and again shown to be related to functional and structural changes to the brain. One aspect of multilingualism that has not been examined systematically so far is the typology of multilinguals' languages: Do differences and similarities between languages multilinguals know contribute to the development of their cognition and brain?

Séminaire & Soutenance HDR Isabelle Dautriche
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, France10H Judit Gervain (University of Padoa, Italy & CNRS) How do infants represent speech: the developmental origins of the embedded neural oscillations model The proposal (Giraud & Poeppel 2012) that a hierarchy of embedded neural oscillations support speech and language processing in the brain has received ample evidence in adults. However, the developmental orgins of such a neural architecture remain to […]

Stimulating speech: auditory-motor interactions in perception and production
Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, FranceKate WATKINS Professeure à l'Université d’Oxford I will describe a series of experiments employing non-invasive brain stimulation in combination with measures of brain function, which explore how motor-to-sensory and sensory-to-motor interactions can be modulated during speech perception and production tasks. To study the role of the motor cortex in speech perception, we use transcranial magnetic […]
