SoSe 17: Progress in Brain Language Research

Friedemann Pulvermüller

Kommentar

This research seminar focuses on reviewing and discussing recent progress in the cognitive neuroscience of language. It has four main strands. 1) External speakers will set the stage for focused discussion of cutting edge research in the field. 2) In depth reviews of research publications will provide insights into recent progress in brain language research. 3) Researchers at the FU Berlin’s Brain Language Laboratory will present their own research plans and aspects of their ongoing research to open discussion of future research perspectives. 4) BA and MA students from the Arbeitsbereich ‘Neuroscience of Language and Pragmatics’ will introduce their project plans and results to receive comments, assistance and guidance. Hot topics that will form the seminar’s foci in the new semester include the neural manifestations of linguistic-semantic and -pragmatic prediction (see Grisoni et al.), mapping words semantics onto the brain (see Carota et al.), the simulation of brain language mechanisms using mathematical models (see Schomers et al.) and language therapy after stroke (Stahl et al., Lucchese et al.).
