SUMMARY:Prosody as a beacon for understanding a speaker's stance and intentions
DESCRIPTION:Marc D. 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.

SUMMARY:Neural systems underlying auditory categorization
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bhareth Chandrasekaran \nAbstract: My program of research uses a systems neuroscience approach to study the computations\, maturational constraints\, and plasticity underlying behaviorally relevant auditory signals like speech. 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. Dr. Chandrasekaran has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Speech\, Language\, and Hearing Research (Speech). Over the last two decades\, his lab has leveraged cutting-edge multimodal neuroimaging methods and computational modeling approaches to develop a sophisticated understanding of how sounds are represented and categorized in the human brain. His approach is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary\, integrating across fields of communication sciences and disorders\, neuroscience\, linguistics\, psychology\, engineering\, and otolaryngology. His laboratory is currently supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

SUMMARY:Transdisciplinary Workshop Maison des Astronomes\, IMéRA\, Marseille
DESCRIPTION:Maison des Astronomes\, IMéRA\, Marseille  \nOutcome: a collective publication on methodological and theoretical issues \nAbstract  \nThe complexity of animal communication signals (including humans) can be evaluated on the basis of the combinatorics of the units that make up these signals (property also referred to as “double articulation”). 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

SUMMARY:Seminar on “speech production and perception”
DESCRIPTION:Prof. F. Guenther and REaDY team\, LPL (5-6 May) \nThursday\, May 5th 2022 \nDiscussion with Prof. F. Guenther around the following presentations \n14h-14h40 : Noël Nguyen & Kristof Strijkers : Phonetic and semantic convergence in speech communication \n14h40-15h10 : Serge Pinto: Studying speech motor control from its impairment: the cases of hypo- and hyperkinetic dysarthrias \n15h10-15h30 : Coffee break \n15h30-16h10 : Elin Runnqvist\, Lydia Dorokhova & Snezana Todorović : Action monitoring from tongue movements to words \n16h10-16h40 : Anne-Sophie Dubarry : Exploring the variability of neurophysiological data during language processing \n  \nFriday\, May 6th 2022\, 10h30-12h00 \nKEYNOTE by 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

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

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. I will draw parallels between human use of laughter and laugher and play vocalisations in other mammals\, and I will also show some distinct differences between humans and other animals. I will explore the neural basis of laughter processing and discuss how this may relate to some individual differences in laughter use and experience. \n

SUMMARY:How do people interpret implausible sentences?
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

SUMMARY:JOURNEE ILCB
DESCRIPTION:     \n  \nJOURNEE ILCB  \n—————– \n9h30 Conférence Plénière Ghislaine DEHAENE-LAMBERTZ\, Directrice de Recherche CNRS\, Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit\, CEA\, Paris \n“Are human infants able to use symbols?” \n \nSummary : \nHuman adults commonly use symbolic systems (e.g. speech\, numbers\, writing code\, algebraic formula) to represent aspects of the external world\, and they easily and flexibly go from symbols to objects and vice-versa. This “symbolic mind” might be related to a distinct human neural architecture\, in particular\, the expansion of the associative areas and the development of new long-distance fiber tracts\, such as the arcuate fasciculus. More efficient connections to and from the frontal lobe and a longer memory buffer may lead to the discovery of more abstract structures\, and ultimately enable to represent the external world with a symbolic system. \nThis neural architecture is in place at full-term birth and brain imaging studies have revealed that higher-level associative regions\, such as frontal areas\, are involved in infant’s cognition from start. We may thus expect that infants might share the same symbolic competence than adults. To support this claim\, I will present brain imaging data showing the infants’ structural and functional brain architecture but also behavioral and ERP data revealing symbolic and logical computation in young infants. \n  \n—————– \n10h30 Soutenance HDR\, Kristof STRIJKERS\, Chargé de Recherche CNRS\, Laboratoire Parole et Langage\, Aix-en-Pr. \n“Towards an Integrated Brain Language Model — The spatiotemporal dynamics of production versus perception” \n \nCommittee :\nSonja KOTZ\, Maastricht University (rapporteure)\nBenjamin MORILLON\, Aix-Marseille Université (rapporteur)\nNoël NGUYEN\, Aix-Marseille Université (tuteur)\nMartin PICKERING\, Edinburgh University (rapporteur)\nRasha ABDEL RAHMAN\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (examinatrice) \nSummary :\nThe capacity of communicating through language has been instrumental in the evolution of our species. Being able to quickly alert our peers of an upcoming danger has high biological relevance\, and the ease and speed with which we can use language has made this our primary communicative tool. Not surprisingly\, understanding the fundaments of this ability has been a central issue throughout the history of human and social sciences. By now\, our knowledge about the representations and processes underpinning language behaviour is impressive and thanks to the combined efforts of linguists\, psychologists and neuroscientists\, detailed neurolinguistic models of language production and perception have been developed. Despite the huge advances made to understand this complex capacity of the human mind\, language research has been typically modality-specific\, with a dissociation between production and comprehension in terms of research strategies\, paradigms and models. The objective of the research I present here for my HDR project is to explore the nature of linguistic representations and processes from an integrated perspective. This is important\, because in order to fully understand language processing and develop a neurolinguistic model that explains behavior\, we’ll need to understand how production and perception interact. This HDR aims at contributing to this endeavor by comparing the spatiotemporal dynamics of production and perception for the basic building blocks of language: words. In doing so\, I want to address the question of whether and how word representations and their processing overlap in time and space in the speaker and listener’s minds. \n  \n—————– \n13h BUFFET ILCB \n—————– \n  \n14h30 Soutenance HDR Adrien MEGUERDITCHIAN\, Chargé de recherche CNRS\, Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive\, Marseille \n“On the gestural origins of language : What baboons’ gestures and brain asymmetry could tell us” \n \nCommittee : \nPascal BELIN\, Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone\, CNRS\, Aix-Marseille Univ (rapporteur) \nEmmanuel MELLET\, Institut des Maladies Neurodégénératives\, CEA\, CNRS\, Bordeaux Univ (rapporteur) \nMartine MEUNIER\, Centre de Recherche en Neurosciences de Lyon\, INSERM\, CNRS (rapporteuse) \nGhislaine DEHAENE-LAMBERTZ\, Neuroimagerie Cognitive\, INSERM\, CEA\, Univ Paris-Saclay (examinatrice) \nMarieke LONGCAMP\, Laboratoire de Neuroscience Cognitive\, CNRS\, Aix-Marseille Univ (tutrice) \nAgnès TREBUCHON\, Institut des Neurosciences et des Systèmes\, AP-HM\, Aix-Marseille Univ (invitée) \nJacques VAUCLAIR\, Centre PsyCLE\, Aix-Marseille Univ (invité) \n  \nSummary : \nNonhuman primates mostly communicate not only with a rich vocal repertoire but also with manual and body gestures. In contrast to great apes\, this latter communicative gestural system has been poorly investigated in monkeys. In the last 15 years\, the gestural research we conducted in the baboons Papio anubis\, an Old World monkey species\, have shown potential direct evolutionary continuities with some key properties of language such as intentionality\, referentiality\, learning flexibility as well as its underlying lateralization and hemispheric specialization of the brain. According to these collective findings\, which are congruent with the ones reported in great apes\, it is thus not excluded that features of gestural communication shared between humans\, great apes and baboons\, may have played a critical role in the phylogenetic roots of language and dated back\, not to the Hominidae evolution\, but rather to their much older Catarrhine common ancestor 25-40 million years ago. \n  \n—————– \n17h APERO

SUMMARY:A holistic measure of inter-annotation agreement with continuous data
DESCRIPTION:Rachid Riad  (École Normale Supérieure – Inria – Inserm) \nAbstract: Inter-rater reliability/agreement measures the degree of agreement among raters to describe\, code or assess the same phenomenon. Most coefficients (ex: α\, κ) measuring these agreements in psychology and natural sciences focus on the categorization of events. Yet\, the annotations of speech and especially conversational spontaneous speech represent a complex continuous phenomenon to annotate. There is not only categorization but also the localization of events that is asked from annotators\, referred to as unitizing. In this presentation\, we will describe the gamma agreement γ introduced by Mathet et al. 2015 and our work to extend this measure with the python package ‘pygamma-agreement’. We illustrate the use of this measure with corpora coming from (1) daylong recordings to study language acquisition\, and (2) interviews at the hospital to study speech pathologies. \nWhere: Zoom link https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/j/2515421853

SUMMARY:Teaching an old word new tricks? Phonological updates in the bilingual mental lexicon
DESCRIPTION:Isabelle Darcy \nIndiana University / ILCB / IMéRA \nListening to speech in your native language is easy. Recognizing the words spoken in conversation is generally an automatic and smooth everyday process in the first language (L1). Even in noisy or otherwise less than ideal conditions\, 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 when you know all the words. Even for reasonably clear speech\, identifying individual words out of the speech stream is difficult. Charles and Trenkic (2015) reported that international university students missed about 30% of the words they heard during lectures. \nFor bilinguals\, the perceptual processing of L2 speech sounds and the stored representations of the words themselves are influenced by the L1. For example\, two words such as “lake” and “rake” may sound the same and may be stored as one word (= one homophonous pronunciation /leik/ for two concepts) for Japanese learners of English\, because the /r/-/l/ distinction is difficult to perceive and represent for them due to the lack of this distinction in their L1. One consequence of these effects is the difficulty to know which word to activate when hearing /leik/\, but also the difficulty to learn to pronounce the words differently. \nYet\, many questions remain as to how bilinguals store the phonological form of words (their pronunciation) in the corresponding lexical entry in long-term memory\, and how these representations change over time. Our lab has obtained evidence for dissociations between perception and lexical storage\, which suggest that even after perception of a difficult phonological dimension improves\, modifying lexical representations that use this phonological dimension remains hard. This means that even after a Japanese learner learns to distinguish /r/ from /l/\, their representations of the words might still be the same. \nIn this talk I will outline research conducted in my lab to understand the phonological structure of the bilingual mental lexicon\, how words are stored\, and whether (and how) bilinguals are able to update previously inaccurate lexical representations.

SUMMARY:Language embodiment and relativity: Evidence in Chinese-English bilinguals 
DESCRIPTION:Guillaume Thierry \nBangor University\, Bangor\, UK \n  \n  \nAs soon as we master a language\, several of our cognitive abilities that do not readily require language to operate and are seemingly independent from it interact with language representations in a highly sophisticated fashion\, reflecting the highly integrated nature of human cognition. Examples of such cognitive abilities are perception\, attention\, affective regulation\, memory\, reasoning\, and decision making. Although it is intuitive that such cognitive functions continuously interact with language in many ways\, there is a paucity of data regarding the nature of such interactions. The quest for data shedding light on these interactions is difficult\, however\, and experimental paradigms used in the past are often criticised due to insufficiently controlled materials and experimental tasks. For instance\, language-based studies involving overt reports and questionnaires often fail to acknowledge that they cannot test cognitive effects beyond the realm of language\, since all proceedings are language-mediated. Behavioural studies also regularly fail to establish the level of awareness involved in tasks which could strategically\, and therefore artificially\, involve language on a metacognitive level. Here\, I will present data from a set of studies showcasing the intricate nature of language-cognition interaction in the human brain\, and particularly that of bilingual individuals who have come to master a second language in life. I will show how some language representations acquired early in life (i.e.\, from the native language) are there for life\, influencing human cognition in a wholly unconscious manner. I will also show how new representations acquired later in life (i.e.\, from a second language) compete with native language representations and influence cognition unconsciously and ubiquitously. In closing\, I will attempt to assess the repercussions of our observations for linguistic relativity and embodied cognition theory.
