Scientific Program

The scientific program will feature a series of invited keynote lectures and discussions addressing central questions at the interface of linguistics, cognitive science, and the neuroscience of language. The workshop will be structured around several thematic strands, including:

• Brain-informed approaches to linguistic theory
• Aphasia therapy and clinical language research
• Neurosemantics and neuropragmatics
• Computational and neurobiologically grounded models of language and cognition
• Brain mechanisms of language processing

In addition to invited keynote talks, the workshop will include contributions from members of the Brain Language Laboratory and the ERC MatCo research team.
