Sharlene Newman, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Indiana University, will present, "Neuroimaging Studies of Syntax."
Abstract:
When most of us think of grammar we think of the endless number of rules we were forced to learn in grade school. However, to understand the importance of grammar all we need to do is read the papers of some of our students that are filled with grammatical errors; errors that make it incredibly difficult to understand the intended message. In this talk I will focus on one aspect of grammar: syntax. There have been a number of neuroimaging studies that have attempted to localize syntactic processing to the inferior frontal gyrus. I will discuss the problems that have been encountered in doing so as well as some of the data from my lab.
