Meeting Description: 

This event will look into contemporary approaches in the study of language
processing with the use of functional MRI and related techniques. It will
bring together early career and established researchers and will comprise a
state-of-the-art snapshot in the field, as well help discuss and unveil
potential future directions for research.

Invited Speakers:
