Dear Users

Today (4-5 pm in YNiC open plan) there will be two talks:

1) A YNiC project proposal presentation by Katya Krieger-Redwood, Department of Psychology.

"Speech Perception in the Brain: A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study"

The motor theory of speech perception states that brain areas involved in producing speech, such as the PMC, also participate in processing spoken language. This study aims to establish the necessity of the PMC in the perception of spoken language, using rTMS. It is predicted that the PMC area is necessary for the resolution of difficult phonological judgement tasks but not for understanding speech in more naturalistic tasks.

2) An MEG clinical case report by Garreth Prendergast, YNiC. (addendum to original programme)

"MEG observations in an individual with visual hallucinations"

Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca
