Talk
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides a valuable window into how the brain functions, with the particular benefit of allowing us to localise the source of cognitive processes in the brain with millimetre precision. However, and despite its widespread use in cognitive neuroscience, the use of MRI (structural or functional) in neurolinguistics, and particularly in the study of morphology,...

Symposium 4 -- Morphology and Neuroscience
Talk
Language-related processes in the brain are known to unfold within tens of milliseconds. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) directly registers the magnetic field created by electrical activity of masses of neurons. The magnetic field is measured on the millisecond scale, without being distorted by e.g., the skull as extensively as electroencephalography (EEG). In addition, the brain activity is...

Symposium 4 -- Morphology and Neuroscience
Talk
Electroencephalography (EEG) and the derived event-related potentials (ERPs) provide an important means to study the time-course of brain functions in high temporal resolution without referring to overt behavioral responses.
This talk will review the available literature on morphological processing with EEG, including studies on the processing of inflections, derivations, and compounds....
