Description:
Learn about the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language at the next International
Radboud Summer School from 4 to 8 July 2022. The deadline for the early bird
fee will be 1 April.

Course Description:

Human language is a unique symbolic system that allow us to communicate with
others. Current theories make different predictions on how these symbols are
manipulated to construct meaningful structures, like sentences and discourse,
by employing different modalities of spoken, written language, and gestures.
How do we manage these operations - and so quickly - when we read, or during a
conversation? How do we learn them when we acquire language? And how did these
functions evolve? Complex cognitive and neural systems support linguistic,
conceptual, and communicative functions. In the last few decades, rapid
advances in the experimental methods and analysis techniques made it possible
to explore the human mind and brain at work during different language tasks,
thus uncovering the underlying spatial and temporal dynamics in both healthy
and impaired populations, during language learning and acquisition and once
language and literacy are acquired and mastered.

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 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.
