Real-time language processing using EEG measurements
Associate Professor, School of Linguistics and Language Studies
Director, Language Brain Laboratory

Mackenzie Building Room 3356, Carleton University
abstract
Increasingly important to cognitive science are methods that examine neural structure and activity. In this talk, I will show how questions concerning real time language processing can be addressed using an EEG technique. Using a number of experiments spanning different issues and age groups as examples, I will discuss how EEG data are collected and analyzed in language studies. Both the strengths and limitations of such studies will be explored.
