Neuroscience of Language

1 Credit · Level: Graduate

This course is designed to provide PhD students with an overview of core topics in Neuroscience of Language (NoL) and exposure to clinical populations and methods important to NoL research. This is the first course in a two-semester sequence. The first semester will likely cover the brain basis of speech perception and production, concept knowledge and semantics, lexical retrieval, and syntax. Communication disorders affecting these abilities will be discussed as well. Diversity, equity, and inclusion issues important to NoL research will be discussed throughout the course.
