Subject: New Language working group, part of the ENIGMA international consortium


ENIGMA-Language (ENIGMA-LANG) is a new working group aiming to focus
on the neurobiology of language, one of the most fundamental traits of
our species, in order to investigate associations between brain
structure, genotype and language measures. This will be investigated
in both directions, including how brain structure and genetics predict
performance in language tasks, but also how cognitively challenging
linguistic experiences, e.g., bi/multilingualism, can affect the
structure of the brain.

Our call for participation is open!

We are actively searching for international collaborators to join
ENIGMA-Language! If you are interested in participating, please
complete our short data query poll, and contact any of the Working
Group chairs: Christos Pliatsikas (c.pliatsikas at reading.ac.uk), Narly
Golestani (narly.golestani at unige.ch), Vincent DeLuca
(vincent.f.deluca at uit.no), João Veríssimo
(jlverissimo at edu.ulisboa.pt), Michael Ullman (michael at georgetown.edu)
, and Simon Fisher (simon.fisher at mpi.nl).

Get in touch if you are interested, and please feel free to share with
your networks!
