The work presented confirms the importance of interactions between motor and sensory systems that are necessary for both speech perception and production.

There is ample consensus on critical behavioral attainments at given time points during development\, such as cooing (1-4 months)\, babbling (6-10 months) and uttering the first words (12 months). Yet\, the underlying neural underpinnings of these language attainments are poorly understood. The acquisition of spoken language requires a sophisticated neural machinery to disentangle the fine-grained spectro-temporal acoustic features differentiating speech sounds. This neural machinery is partially functional in utero\, from the 27th gestational week\, and keeps its natural maturation processes under genetic\, biological\, nutritional and environmental influences. From the very same moment of birth\, the baby is exposed to a much richer acoustic environment (the mother’s bomb behaves as low-pass filter)\, fostering rapid experience-dependent plastic changes in the neural encoding of complex sound features\, that I will argue\, support early language acquisition. \nIn my talk I will discuss the results of a series of studies carried out in my laboratory with the Frequency-Following Response (FFR)\, a non-invasive scalp-recorded auditory evoked potential that reflects compound phase-locked neural activity elicited to the spectrotemporal components of the acoustic signal\, along the entire auditory hierarchy. These studies have so-far allowed us to establish the standards for recording the neonatal FFR in a hospital routine\, to show that fundamental frequency (F0) encoding is adult-like at birth whereas temporal-fine structure encoding shows a striking maturation at the age of one month\, to continue to develop up to the age of 6 months\, and that fetal conditions challenging normal fetal growth\, such as fetal growth restriction of fetal overweight\, result in compromised neural encoding of F0 at birth. Furthermore\, our results show that the prenatal exposure to environmental music –and to a mono/bilingual acoustic environment- during pregnancy\, fosters the neural encoding of speech sounds (F0) at birth. Altogether\, these result support the FFR as a powerful to investigate the neural underpinnings of early language acquisition. \nFunding.

However\, the developmental orgins of such a neural architecture remain to a large extent unknown. The talk will present EEG data from newborns and older infants showing that neural oscillations are already in place early in development and are shaped by prenatal and postnatal experience. \n—————- \n11H Coffee break \n—————– \n11H30 Luca Bonatti (University Pompeu Fabra\, Spain) \nThe role of logic in infant cognition\n\nDo infants have a logic in their mind\, and what role could it have in their cognitive system? David Hume argued that no novel content can arise by  simply inspecting ‘relations of ideas’ — what we would now call logic\, but only by knowing ‘matters of fact’ –  objects\, events\, causal relations. This creates a puzzle: how is it possible that a system that adds no novel knowledge be useful to our cognition of the world? I will argue that the puzzle is a bit less puzzling if one thinks that knowledge is not acquired not only by adding novel information\, but also by reducing uncertainty. I will present  experiments with adults and infants suggesting that elementary logical processes are indeed spontaneously triggered in different contexts\, and precisely serve the role of reducing uncertainty by eliminating possibilities. \n—————- \n12H30 Lunch ILCB \n—————– \n14H Soutenance HDR\, Isabelle Dautriche (CNRS & Aix-Marseille University) \nHow children learn the meaning of words  \nOne central task in most linguistic theory is to provide an account of the acquisition of language: What kind of machine in its initial state\, supplied with what kinds of input\, could acquire a natural language in the way that infants of our species do? This question is usually confined to the acquisition of phonology and syntax\, leaving vocabulary aside. After all\, words must be learnt by noticing the real-world contingencies for their use. No other theory could explain why English children learn to associate the sound sequence /ˈbɛtə/ to the meaning “better” and Turkish children to “worse”. I argue that focusing on distributional or statistical abilities provides an incomplete picture of word learning as it fails to account for how learning occurs\, what kind of knowledge learners bring into the word learning problem and what properties of language may facilitate it. I will present experimental and computational work that suggest that 1) children are active learners\, able to combine and weigh several sources of information while learning the meaning of words; 2) that the vocabulary of natural languages has evolved to be more learnable by infants and 3) that infants come equipped with non-linguistic biases that guide their learning\, some of which may be shared with other species. \nCommittee: \nJennifer Culbertson\, University of Edinburgh \nBalthasar Bickel\, University of Zurich \nLuca Bonatti\, University Pompeu Fabra \nJudit Gervain\, University of Padoa & CNRS \nNoël Nguyen\, Aix-Marseille Université \n—————– \n17H Apéro \n  URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/seminaire-soutenance-hdr-isabelle-dautriche/ LOCATION:Salle des voûtes\, St Charles\, 3 place Victor Hugo\, Marseille\, 13001\, France CATEGORIES:Seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20221209T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20221209T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T010404 CREATED:20221208T103238Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221208T171930Z UID:27993-1670587200-1670590800@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:Towards a computational neurophysiology of covert auditory processing in health and disease DESCRIPTION:Le lunch talk Jean-Julien Aucouturier\, est annulé en raison des perturbations dans les transports. \nNous sommes sincèrement désolé pour cette annulation de dernière minute. \nBien à vous \nEtienne Thoret \n________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nJean-Julien Aucouturier \nAbstract: The past 10 years have seen the emergence in the cognitive neuroscience community of a novel class of ‘data-driven’ methods inspired by psychophysical reverse-correlation\, which allow researchers to model a participant’s behavioral responses to arbitrarily generated visual or auditory stimuli (Adolphs et al. 2016). Taking the example of some of our recent results on the perception of speech prosody (Ponsot et al.\, PNAS 2018; Goupil et al. Nature Communications 2021)\, I will show how to extend these new methodologies to the analysis of neurophysiological data\, in order to identify the sensory mechanisms that underly covert auditory processing in both healthy participants\, stroke and coma patients. \nBio: Jean-Julien Aucouturier was trained at SONY Computer Science Laboratories with François Pachet and holds a PhD in Computer Science from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (2006). JJ has then held several postdoctoral positions in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Tokyo with Takashi Ikegami and at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute with Kazuo Okanoya. After a decade at IRCAM in Paris where he directed the ERC-funded CREAM music neuroscience team\, he is now Directeur de recherche CNRS (equiv. Full Professor) at the FEMTO-ST Institute (CNRS/Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté) in Besançon\, France. His research program in FEMTO-ST is based on data-driven\, system-science approaches to clinical neurophysiology\, with a focus on the auditory/speech modality\, and health technology applications in neurology and psychiatry.

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? In this talk\, I will discuss a methodology for describing the continuum of multilingual language experience that accounts for typological distance. We applied it in two studies with groups with diverse language backgrounds. In the first\, we investigated n = 162 5-6-year-olds with various language backgrounds on a monolingual-to-quintilingual continuum. Overlaps in lexical distances between participants’ languages were found to be related to aspects of their dominant-language lexical knowledge and to brain activation patters during a dominant-language lexical task. In the second study\, we looked at typological distance at the level of phonology and its relation to brain structure. In particular\, we investigated how neuroanatomical indices describing the transverse temporal gyrus (TTG\, cortical structure housing early auditory cortex) were related to cross-linguistic phonological information of n = 136 adult participants exposed to between 1 to 7 languages. We found that language experience with phonologically distant languages was associated with cortical thickness of the second TTG. These results refine our understanding of the neural underpinnings of multilingual language experience and will be discussed in the larger context of genetic versus environmental influences on the brain. \n  URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/olga-kepinska-phd%e2%80%a8/ LOCATION:B011 LPL\, 5 avenue Pasteur\, Aix-en-Provence\, 13100\, France CATEGORIES:Lunch Talks END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20221019T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20221021T180000 DTSTAMP:20260409T010404 CREATED:20220912T151918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220922T074351Z UID:24684-1666166400-1666375200@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:formation NIRS/EEG DESCRIPTION:PROGRAMME FORMATION ACCOMPAGNEMENT PRISE EN MAIN fNIRS – EEG \n  \nJOUR 01 : Les Bases théoriques de la technique NIRS / EEG \n\nLa différence entre Technique (besoins) et Technologie (solutions)\nIntroduction par cadrage des deux techniques\nLes différentes techniques spectroscopiques (NIRS) et les différentes techniques d’électrophysiologie.\nL’onde électromagnétique\n\nLe photon e sa double nature corpusculaire et d’onde\nL’interaction de l’onde EM avec la matière\n\nDiffusion et Absorbance\n\n\nLa loi de Lambert-Beer et la loi de Lambert-Beer Modifiée\nLa propagation de l’onde EM dans le milieu\n\n\nLe signal NIRS et ses différences / similitudes avec le signal EEG\n\nLes origines physiologiques et anatomiques du signal NIRS vs EEG\n\nCouplage neuro-vasculaire\nPotentiel d’action\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRésolution temporelle et spatiale\n\n\nLe traitement du signal NIRS vs EEG : fondamentaux\n\nLes artefacts de mouvement\nLes contaminations environnementales\nLes contaminations physiologiques\nL’évolution du SNR (signal noise ratio) et l’erreur\nL’extraction de la composante Corticale – Neuronale – Evoquée ou du PE\n\nMéthode UNIVARIATE (NIRS)\nMéthode MULTIVARIATE (NIRS)\n\n\n\n\n\nJOUR 02 – 03 : La solution technologique NIRX / BRAIN PROUCTS \n\nExplication des components de l’hardware et installation : NIRSCOUT / actiCHamp Plus\nPrise en main du logiciel d’enregistrement (NIRSTAR – BRAIN VISION RECORDER)\nDiagnostic hardware\nOptimisation du signal NIRS / EEG\nIntégration dans LSL et synchronisation multi signal\nPrise en main du logiciel de Montage design : NIRSITE (pour la NIRS)\nCréation du casque et qualité du signal (testé sur adulte)\nVisualisation du signal\nHands-on URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/formation-nirs-eeg/ LOCATION:FRUMAM\, 3 place Victor Hugo\, Marseille\, 13001\, France CATEGORIES:Formation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20221007T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20221007T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T010404 CREATED:20220819T135236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220905T082807Z UID:24030-1665144000-1665147600@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:Language in the brain and algorithms. DESCRIPTION:Jean-Rémi KING : Chercheur à l’Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris et Meta AI. \nIt 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 do so\, we are integrating large-scale datasets of magneto/electroencephalography\, functional magnetic resonance imaging\, and intracranial recordings while individuals read or listen to natural sentences. Our analyses demonstrate systematic similarities between AI models and the brain\, which allow us to (1) efficiently decode speech from brain activity and (2) delineate the location and temporal course of the hierarchy of language representations. Overall\, these studies show how the interface between AI and neuroscience sheds new light on the computations at the heart of human language.

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 conclusions whose correct interpretation requires field observations. I used both approaches to understand the behavior of capuchin monkeys and I also bridged them by carrying out field experiments\,. Here\, I will illustrate how my colleagues and I proceeded in exploring the issues of flexible tool use and social learning and discuss how much easier\, for laymen and scientists as well\, is to accept something that can be easily seen (i.e.\, tool use) than something that is not so evident (as it is in the case of “feeble” social biases).

Pell\, de l’Université McGill \nProf. 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. \nMuch of his work focuses on the effects of the human voice during pragmatic language processing and in social cognition. Members of his lab are exploring the neurocognitive basis of vocal communication\, how this system is influenced by socio-cultural factors\, and how vocal communication is influenced by acquired disease of the brain (e.g.\, Parkinson’s disease\, repetitive head injury). Behavioural paradigms\, acoustic analysis\, neuroinvestigative techniques (ERPs\, fMRI)\, and neuropsychological assessments of brain-damaged adults are being used to test these ideas.

Speech signals are multidimensional\, acoustically variable\, and temporally ephemeral. A significant computational challenge in speech perception (and more broadly\, audition) is categorization\, that is\, mapping continuous\, multidimensional\, and variable acoustic signals into discrete\, behavioral equivalence classes. Despite the enormity of this computational challenge\, native speech perception is rapid and automatic. In contrast\, learning novel speech categories is effortful. In this talk\, I elucidate mechanisms underlying how novel speech categories are acquired and represented in the mature brain. I will demonstrate that (1) neural representations of novel speech categories can arise in the associative auditory cortex within a few hundred training trials of sound-to-category training\, (2) pre-attentive signal reconstruction in the early auditory system is subject to experience-dependent plasticity\, and (3) the robustness of structural and functional connectivity within a sound-to-reward cortico-striatal stream relates to learning outcome. Finally\, I will discuss ongoing experiments that leverage neurobiology to design optimal behavioral training and targeted neuromodulation interventions. \n  \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Chandrasekaran serves as a Professor and Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at The University of Pittsburgh. He earned his Ph.D. in Integrative Neuroscience from Purdue University in 2008\, completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Northwestern University before joining the University of Texas at Austin in 2010. He is the recipient of Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award in 2014\, the Editor’s award for best research article in the Journal of Speech\, Language\, and Hearing Research\, the Psychonomics Early Career award in 2016\, and the Society for Neurobiology of Language Early Career Award in 2018.

The first articulation concerns the arrangement of the semantic units (words) into sentences and the second corresponds to the arrangement of elementary sounds (e.g. human phonemes) into meaningful units (e.g.  human words). The possibility to build different combinations at each level allows to produce an exponential number of new statements. \nTo compare the complexity of the vocal communication signals of different animal species\, including humans\, we propose to investigate possible combinatorial units in non-human animals. \nFor this\, we intend to address two principal issues: \n\nThe segmentation and clustering methods / principles used in the study of human and non-human vocalizations (mainly non-human primates and cetaceans).\nThe association/combinability of units from different sensory channels (acoustic\, visual\, tactile) and the processing of these multimodal/multicomponent units\n\nThis will be done using the tools and concepts from linguistics\, psycholinguistics\, comparative psychology\, philosophy\, bioacoustics\, neurosciences\, computer sciences and ethology. \n  URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/transdisciplinary-workshop-maison-des-astronomes-imera-marseille/ LOCATION:IMéRA CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220505 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220507 DTSTAMP:20260409T010404 CREATED:20220105T110456Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220415T152902Z UID:16140-1651708800-1651881599@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:Seminar on “speech production and perception” DESCRIPTION:Prof. F.

Guenther \n(Director of Speech Neuroscience Lab\, Boston University) \nNeurocomputational modeling of speech production \nSpeech production is a highly complex sensorimotor task involving tightly coordinated processing in the frontal\, temporal\, and parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex. To better understand these processes\, our laboratory has designed\, experimentally tested\, and iteratively refined a neural network model\, called the DIVA model\, whose components correspond to the brain regions involved in speech. Babbling and imitation phases are used to train neural mappings between phonological\, articulatory\, auditory\, and somatosensory representations. After the imitation phase\, the model can produce learned phonemes and syllables by generating movements of an articulatory synthesizer. An extended version of the model\, called GODIVA\, addresses the neural circuitry underlying the buffering and sequencing of phonological units in multi-syllabic utterances. Because the model’s components correspond to neural populations and are given precise anatomical locations\, activity in the model’s neurons can be compared directly to neuroimaging data. Computer simulations of the model account for a wide range of experimental findings\, including data on acquisition of speaking skills\, articulatory kinematics\, and brain activity during normal and perturbed speech. Furthermore\, “damaged” versions of the model are being used to investigate several communication disorders\, including stuttering\, apraxia of speech\, and hypokinetic dysarthria URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/frank-guenther/ LOCATION:Salle de conférences\, 5 avenue Pasteur\, Aix-en-Provence\, 13100\, France CATEGORIES:Seminars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220503 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220505 DTSTAMP:20260409T010404 CREATED:20220428T081428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220428T081606Z UID:20528-1651536000-1651708799@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:Bilingual Lexical DESCRIPTION:Bilingual Lexical Representations Workshop_Programme \nListening to speech in your native language (L1) is relatively easy. Recognizing the words used in a conversation is generally an automatic and smooth everyday process. Even in noisy or otherwise less than ideal conditions\, our performance is surprisingly robust. But anyone who has attempted to follow a conversation in a second language (L2) knows how demanding this can be\, even if you know all the words. \n  \nThe semantic representations of L2 words have been investigated extensively. Our phonetic representations of those words\, however\, are much less widely understood. Independently of how well you know the meaning of words\, identifying individual words out of the acoustic speech stream is difficult for the L2 listener. Not only the perceptual processing of L2 speech sounds\, but also their stored phonetic representations\, are influenced by the L1\, making listening much more complex in the L2 than in the L1. The relatively new and rapidly evolving research area of bilingual lexical representations investigates how L2 learners represent the phonetic forms of words in their mental lexicon\, and how these representations change over time. \n  \nThis workshop aims to provide an overview of the most recent developments in the field. Now is an exciting time to outline the essential questions that need to be explored\, and to work collectively towards a long-term research agenda. A number of methodological challenges are also best addressed together and across disciplines\, in order for the field to move forward on a solid basis. \n  \nMore information on this topic can be found here : https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/15827/fuzzy-lexical-representations-in-the-nonnative-mental-lexicon#overview \nLe workshop sera en présentiel le matin a Marseille (a l’IMéRA)\, et il y a une option par zoom\, également \nhttps://imera.univ-amu.fr/en/bilingual-lexical-representations-workshop URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/bilingual-lexical/ LOCATION:IMéRA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220429T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20220429T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T010404 CREATED:20220321T175103Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220404T074519Z UID:19006-1651233600-1651237200@www.ilcb.fr SUMMARY:The role of laughter in human social interactions DESCRIPTION:Sophie Scott (Director\, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience\, UCL) \nIn this talk I will explore the neuroscience and evolution of laughter\, a positive emotional vocalisation.

DESCRIPTION:  Martin Pickering (Department of Psychology\, School of Philosophy\, Psychology and Language Sciences) \nAbstract: \nPeople sometimes interpret implausible sentences nonliterally\, for example treating “The mother gave the candle the daughter” as meaning the daughter receiving the candle. But how do they do so? We contrasted a nonliteral syntactic analysis account\, according to which people compute a syntactic analysis appropriate for this nonliteral meaning\, with a nonliteral semantic interpretation account\, according to which they arrive at this meaning via purely semantic processing. The former but not the latter account postulates that people consider not only a literal-but-implausible double-object (DO) analysis in comprehending “The mother gave the candle the daughter”\, but also a nonliteral-but-plausible prepositional-object (PO) analysis (i.e.\, including to before the daughter). In three structural priming experiments\, participants heard a plausible or implausible DO or PO prime sentence. They then answered a comprehension question first or described a picture of a dative event first. In accord with the nonliteral syntactic analysis account\, priming was reduced following implausible sentences than following plausible sentences and following nonliterally interpreted implausible sentences than literally interpreted implausible sentences. The results suggest that comprehenders constructed a nonliteral syntactic analysis\, which we argue was predicted early in the sentence. \n  URL:https://www.ilcb.fr/event/martin-pickering/ LOCATION:FRUMAM\, 3 place Victor Hugo\, Marseille\, 13001\, France CATEGORIES:Lunch Talks END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
