Overview of class

This course examines the cognitive neuroscience of language, from language acquisition to language loss following brain injury. Students will learn about the many processes of language and the array of cognitive neuroscience methods and theoretical approaches employed to study it. Besides lectures and supplemental videos, we will integrate student activities such as in class and assigned demonstration experiments, and student discussions or debates, depending in part on course enrollment (class size). Class will meet and lectures will be presented in person. If possible, they will be recorded.
