[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: Febr. 6 Wednesday: Luciano Fadiga (University of Ferrara) - Sensorimotor processing of language

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Prof. Luciano Fadiga, University of Ferrara and The Italian Institute of Technology of Genova, Italy Date: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 - 17:00 - 18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 “Sensorimotor processing of language” Despite the fact that the famous ‘motor theory of speech perception’ by Alvin Liberman dates almost fifty years, a strong debate still survives on the possibility that speech understanding does not rely on sensory processing alone. In my presentation I will provide evidence that Liberman was substantially right and that a motor framework for language processing exists, not only for speech but also for syntax. To this purpose I will present very recent TMS data, patients studies, and computational models, all converging in the same direction. We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !
