This project will test key mechanisms that we hypothesize to play a role in the production of disfluencies, such as self-monitoring of speech and the coordination between speech planning and execution. The mechanisms discovered in the empirical work will inform a computational model, and we will try to simulate both our own findings and data reported in the literature ..read more

The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism - The Different Faces of Bilingualism - featuring The Bilingual Brain Day. We are currently inviting proposals for symposia. Symposia are 120-minute blocks that allow for extended, interactive discussion on a specific topic, focusing on a cluster of independent yet related papers. Each symposium consists of four slots, and should consist either of four presentations, or of three presentations and a discussion ..read more

The workshop aims to gather senior and junior researchers from all fields, from fundamental neuroscience to clinical research, sharing an interest in social cognition and interpersonal behaviour. This year's main topics: “Towards better Interventions: What are the initiatives, methods, results, and strategies for enhancing or modulating social cognitive processes?” and “Understanding and tracking changes: How to unlock the plasticity of social cognition ..read more

The freshly established Perceptual Inference Group at the BCBL studies how the subcortical and early cortical stages of the brain work together to make sense of the sensory world. This project will investigate how the brain learns to predict the onset of incoming sounds with high temporal precision, conforming the sensations of rhythm in speech and music. The project will make use a combination of modelling and high-resolution fMRI to explore the encoding of time in the human brain.  ..read more

The Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language (BCBL), located in San Sebastián, in the heart of the Basque Country, Spain, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the Signal Processing in Neuroimaging group. The successful candidate will contribute to an innovative research project focused on advanced methods for real-time measurements of cerebrovascular reactivity using cutting-edge neuroimaging technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and high-density functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS ..read more

The freshly established Perceptual Inference Group at the BCBL studies how the subcortical and early cortical stages of the brain work together to make sense of the sensory world. This project will investigate the neural circuits implementing perceptual inference along the subcortical auditory pathway. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals with a quantitative background who wish to start a career in Computational Neuroscience ..read more
