Description:
Applications are now open for a four-day autumn school whose aim is to expose students to new methods for analyzing language data collected with behavioral and neuroscientific methods.  This year’s instructors (Emmanuel Keuleers, Falk Huettig, Marcel Bastiaansen, Harald Baayen) are experts in corpus-based analysis, eye tracking, EEG, and ERP methods as applied to complex language inputs. Each faculty will present a theoretical module, conduct small-group advisory discussions, and supervise hands-on sessions where their analyses methods will be implemented on sample datasets. The target audience is post-docs, Ph.D students, and advanced M.A. students involved in studying language comprehension using behavioral experiments, corpus-based tools, electrophysiology, fMRI or combinations of these techniques. Courses will be held in English.

Information about the program, costs, and application procedures is available on the school’s website.
