Gwen Lewis (Neurolinguistics) will present her comps research on Thursday, May 22nd, at *4:30 pm* (note change of time) in CMC 210.
Gwen’s talk is titled ‘Spontaneous speech: A shocking response to electrical stimulation of the thalamus’. Spontaneous speech results from electrical stimulation of only the ventral anterior nucleus of the thalamus, making it a rare and unique phenomenon. This talk will outline a possible thalamic model of language that may explain this phenomenon.
A reception immediately follows the talk. All are invited to attend.
