Description:
The module will introduce you to the study of language and the brain -- that is, neurolinguistics. We will read introductory articles on neurolinguistics, and focusing the neuroimaging technique of examining Event-Related Potentials (ERPs). ERPs are measures of the electrical activity in the brain that occurs during the processing of language or other domains of cognition. We will discuss these articles and issues in class. You will then be shown the system which we use to acquire ERPs here at Georgetown. You will learn to use the system, and will help us to run an experiment with it. Finally, you will be expected to write up a very brief paper on a relevant topic of your choice.
