MIND AND BRAIN III
AUDITION, LANGUAGE, COMMUNICATION
C o u r s e D e s c r i p t i o n
The
Mind and Brain III graduate course is dedicated to an interdisciplinary
approach to the complex phenomena of audition, language, and communication.
It will consist of teaching sessions (tutorials and research-based lectures)
led by world-renowned experts, in combination with student presentations,
all of which will be oral. The lecturers were encouraged to put a strong
emphasis on methodological issues whenever applicable since a range of
functional brain imaging methods has allowed a noninvasive assessment of
the auditory and eloquent cortices in humans. The list of topics includes
speech perception, temporal and spectral cues in complex sounds, effects
of altered processing of auditory information on cognitive processes, spatio-temporal
dynamics of word processing, understanding words and getting jokes, neurocognition
of language, psycholinguistic methods, language development and developmental
language deficits, dyslexia, verbal and non-verbal thinking, from magic
speech to normative text, language in psychotherapy, auditory hallucinations.
In addition, advanced functional brain imaging techniques such as magnetoencephalography
(MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) will be introduced and spatio-temporal localization methods
discussed as well as the efforts toward an integrated multi-modality functional
imaging.
The course will be open to 70 participants.
Early registration is recommended.
Abstract submission is encouraged but not required.
