Università Roma Tre

This course aims to introduce the student to both theoretical and practical issues regarding human communication, language processing and their functional neurocognitive correlates. After introducing the student to the basic notions of animal and human communication and to the notion of linguistic structure, we will focus on the cognitive and neural substrate of communication and language processing. The contribution of functional neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, PET, MEG), neuropsychological investigation of language loss after cerebral injury (e.g. aphasic or right hemisphere damaged individuals) or degradation (e.g. patients suffering from Alzheimer or Parkinson’s diseases) as well as data from social neuroscience will be discussed.
