Neurolinguistics
The course addresses modern neurolinguistics from both a theoretical and a practical perspective.
The course covers central areas within neurolinguistics:
- comprehension
- production and interaction in spoken and written language in the brain
- mental representation of individual words as well as sentences and discourse in the brain, as well as neural perspectives on pragmatic processing
All topics are treated with a consistent focus on neurolinguistic methods and brain imaging.
The course places special emphasis on how machine learning methods, statistical methods, and other tools from language and speech technology, have transformed neurolinguistics as a field.
The course provides theoretical, practical, and technical knowledge in the planning, implementation, analysis, and presentation of experimental studies in neurolinguistics and language technology studies on neural data, including consideration of research ethics.
The course offers advanced training in quantitative and experimental methods, as well as quantitative data analysis and interpretation, with a focus on language technology methods.
In addition, the course covers relevant areas within cognitive neuroscience, such as major global brain networks, through an in-depth treatment of functional brain anatomy.
