Dates: 22-Jun-2017 - 24-Jun-2017
Location: Moscow, Russia

Focus: The topic of the fourth annual Summer Neurolinguistics School is Brain Stimulation in Language Research and Therapy. The school will be devoted to brain stimulation methods and their applications in neurolinguistic research and speech-language therapy.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum

Description:
The Neurolinguistics Laboratory at the National Research University Higher
School of Economics (HSE) invites you to join us in Moscow for our fourth
annual Summer Neurolinguistics School. This year, the topic is Brain
Stimulation in Language Research and Therapy. The event will take place in
Moscow, Russia, June 22–24, 2017. The purpose of the school is to serve both
as an educational event for students entering the field and as an academic
environment where researchers and clinicians can exchange ideas and discuss
the latest achievements in the field. This year the school will be devoted to
various brain stimulation methods and their applications in neurolinguistic
research and in language therapy. The school program includes lectures by such
world-renowned researchers as Nina Dronkers (University of California),
Roelien Bastiaanse (University of Groningen), and Dirk-Bart den Ouden
(University of South Carolina).

What to expect?

The school program will include three days of invited talks and one poster
session.  The first day will provide an introduction to the neural bases of
language processing in the healthy and damaged brain. The second day will
introduce different brain stimulation methods (TMS, tDCS, tACS, tRNS, DES) and
focus on the methodological aspects. The third day will cover specific
applications of these methods in neurolinguistic research and in treatment of
language disorders. Over the course of three days, the attendees will learn
about the principles of various brain stimulation methods, gain an
understanding of experimental design using these methods, and become familiar
with the recent advances in their application to modulate language processing
in the healthy population and individuals with language disorders. The poster
session invites submissions on a wide range of topics related to
neurolinguistics and/or brain stimulation.

Who should be interested?

The program will be of interest to professionals and students in the fields of
Speech-Language Pathology, Linguistics, Psychology, Medicine, Neuroscience,
Cognitive Science, and related fields. The lectures will provide relevant
content both for students who are just entering the field and for more
advanced researchers and clinicians.

Important dates:

15 May 2017 (23:59 GMT) - poster abstract submission deadline.  
25 May 2017 - notification of acceptance of abstracts.
1 June 2017 -  registration deadline. To complete registration, participants
