It also touches upon neuroevolution and the differences between the human brain and the brains of other mammals.
  • Modern methods of neurolinguistic research, part I
    • In Module 2 you will learn about modern methods and techniques of neurolinguistic research, such as EEG, MEG, intracranial EEG, evoked and induced potentials.
  • Modern methods of neurolinguistic research, part II
    • Module 3 continues the discussion of neurolinguistic research methods, introducing you to the fMRI method. It also provides examples of three recent neurolinguistic studies, detailing every stage: how the experiments were planned and conducted, and how the data was analysed.
