Neurobiology of Language Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的主要目标是通过支持年度科学会议，语言会议（NLC）的神经生物学，促进语音和语言神经生物学的研究和培训。NLC通过强调神经科学研究和沟通障碍与言语和语言的认知，语言，心理语言学，感知和运动控制模型的整合方面的最强工作，填补了语言神经基础科学会议中急需的空白。我们有以下五个具体目标。(1)支持语言神经生物学年会，旨在为研究人员在全方位的相关领域的互动提供一个论坛，包括神经科学，遗传学，沟通障碍，认知心理学，语言学，心理语言学，神经语言学，感知，运动控制，计算建模，神经和心理物理方法。(2)通过引入神经科学和生物学领域的杰出主讲人来扩大该领域研究人员的知识广度。(3)通过提供学生参加会议的奖学金来促进语言神经生物学的培训和教育。(4)通过向代表性不足的群体提供出席会议的奖学金，促进该领域的多样性。由于NLC会议汇集了广泛的语言科学家谁不通常定期互动，我们相信会议将导致有价值的新的互动，合作，和语言的神经生物学的新想法，包括基础科学发现和应用发现在基于生理学的治疗神经源性语言障碍。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this application is to promote research and training in the neurobiology of speech and language via support for an annual scientific conference, the Neurobiology of Language Conference (NLC). The NLC fills a much-needed gap in scientific meetings on the neural basis of language by emphasizing the strongest work on the integration of neuroscience research and communication disorders with cognitive, linguistic, psycholinguistic, perceptual, and motor control models of speech and language. We have the following five specific aims. (1) To support an annual meeting on the Neurobiology of Language with the aim of providing a forum for the interaction of researchers in the full range of allied areas including neuroscience, genetics, communications disorders, cognitive psychology, linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, perception, motor control, computational modeling, and neural and psychophysical methods. (2) To expand the breadth of knowledge of researchers in the field by bringing in distinguished keynote speakers in neuroscience and biology. (3) To advance the training and education in the neurobiology of language by providing student scholarships for conference attendance. (4) To promote diversity in the field by providing scholarships for conference attendance to under-represented groups. Because the NLC meeting brings together a broad range of language scientists who don't normally interact regularly, we believe the meeting will lead to valuable new interactions, collaborations, and novel ideas in the Neurobiology of Language, including both basic scientific findings and applied findings in physiologically-based therapies for neurogenic language disorders.
