Radboud Summer School: Trends in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language

Activiteit: Participating in or organizing a school event

Description

The aim of this course is to open a window in the neuroscientific study of language, testing different theories and views on the brain mechanisms supporting language production and comprehension across development, species and cultures for the purpose of communication. You will join an expedition in the neurocognition of language through first-hand data and results from the experimental investigation.
In Nijmegen, at the Max Planck of Psycholinguistics and Donders Institute for Cognitive Neuroimaging, researchers use a variety of approaches, including controlled experimental and cutting-edge techniques, such as brain imaging, electro- and neuro-physiology, computational modelling to unravel the neurobiological foundations of language and communication. Research in the psycholinguistics and neurocognition of language in Nijmegen is at the scientific forefront and the Max Planck of Psycholinguistics and DI are world-leading research institutes in this scientific area. Lecturers in the summer school are principal and senior scientific investigators at the MPI and DI.
You will receive introductions to specific topics that correspond to the major research lines of the MPI/DI, with a focus on neurosemantics and neuropragmatics, genetics and special conditions. In addition, you will be provided with demonstrations at the research labs of the DI, thus gaining insight into the practical aspects of cognitive scientific empirical research.
