PhD position for 3
years in a research project on speech perception
and production using TMS and fMRI or MEG.
During every-day
conversations, we produce well-articulated speech and comprehend the
meaning of words and the speaker's emotions and intentions without any
effort. What seems so easy is based on highly complex neural processes
that afford the reciprocal integration of auditory and motor signals
that are still poorly understood. Does speech production rely on a
hemispheric specialization at the level of the motor cortex? How does
the motor cortex support speech perception? The PhD project will
address these questions with a combination of neuroscientific methods
(TMS, fMRI, MEG) and acoustic analyses.
Applicants
must have a master degree (or equivalent) in speech science,
psychology, cognitive sciences, neuroscience, medicine, phonetics or a
related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is necessary. A
solid methods background (statistics and programming) as well as prior experience
with either functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
magnetoencephalography (MEG), or transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS) are highly desirable. Most importantly, the successful applicant
will share our enthusiasm in research questions on speech and prosody
in perception and production.

a viable business model for a proposed neurotechnology solution. Along
the way, they receive mentorship from successful entrepreneurs, top
entrepreneurship trainers, academics working in partnership with
industry, clinicians, intellectual property specialists, angel
investors, and more. An emphasis is placed on the "lean
startup" approach popularized by authors including Steve Blank,
Eric Ries, and Alex Osterwalder.
NICE
is open to anyone, from anywhere, with a focus on graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows, though advanced undergraduate students are also
encouraged to apply.
Application
deadline is May 1, 2015
NICE
is offered as both a for-credit class at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. Credit may be transferable to the student's home
institution.

Workshop on neuro- and
psycholinguistic approaches to the grammar-lexicon distinction 1.-3.
October 2015 at University of Copenhagen, Denmark
This workshop
brings together psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, aphasiology and
linguistics to discuss the distinction between grammar and lexicon.
Particular
attention will be given to questions like the following:
-What are the
processing differences between production of grammatical and production
of lexical items? Are these differences similar to differences
pertaining to perception of grammatical and lexical items?
- Are
different brain areas involved in the processing of grammatical and
lexical items?
- Are agrammatic
symptoms better accounted for in terms of specific linguistic disorders
(e.g. the Derived Order Problem Hypothesis; Bastiaanse & van
Zonneveld, 2003) or in terms of pure processing deficits (e.g. Kolk
& Heeschen, 1992)?
- Are there
modality-specific processing differences between grammar and lexicon?
For example, are there processing differences found only in written
languages?

Neural Bases of Speech
Production 2015: Friday, March 27th, 2015 (a satellite to the 2015 CNS
meeting in San Francisco)
On December 1st, 2013, our lab held a symposium titled
"Neural Bases of Speech Production", which was a satellite to
the 2013 meeting of the Acoustical Society of America meeting happening
in San Francisco. The website for this symposium is at http://speechneuro.ucsf.edu/events/asa-satellite-symposium-neural-bases-speech-production, which shows the wide range of topics we covered.
We had a lot of great conversations at the breaks during the symposium,
and many of us continued these discussions after the conference at
dinner in a nearby restaurant.
In
sum, the symposium was such a success that we all agreed it should
happen again soon. And so, in keeping with our aim to make this a new
tradition, we're going to have the symposium again in 2015, this time
as a satellite to the 2015 meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society
(CNS2015) in San Francisco!
The
main CNS2015 meeting begins on Saturday, March 28th, and so our
symposium will take place at UCSF the day before, on Friday, March
27th. The website for CNS2015 is http://www.cogneurosociety.org/annual-meeting/upcoming-meeting/.
We
have yet to decide on our presenters for the symposium, but if you are
interested in presenting, please let me know.
Looking
forward to seeing you all in San Francisco!
