What in the brain does the speaking?

Vitória Piai, Ph.D.
Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour
Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Speaking involves not only preparation and execution of motor
programmes, but also the access of conceptual and lexical information
in long-term memory, as well as controlled processes for selection and
monitoring. Studying this intricate sequence of processes benefits
from time-resolved measures, such as those based on the brain's
electrophysiology. In this talk, however, I will argue that in order
to answer what, exactly, in the brain does the speaking, we need to
overcome not only methodological hurdles, but also major conceptual
ones. For the methodological hurdles in particular, I will use
simulations of electrophysiology to illustrate a couple of scenarios
that lead to erroneous conclusions about brain and language. Then,
using appropriate methodology, I will focus on the retrieval of
conceptual and lexical information from memory using a combination of
methods, in both neurologically healthy and stroke-aphasia
participants, highlighting the importance of temporal and inferior
parietal brain areas.
