1001 ways of communicating

7th February 2020

This workshop will provide a forum for researchers interested in the cognitive and sensorimotor basis of our ability to communicate through the lens of development. It proposes a series of talks, using behavioural, neuro-imaging and modelling methods to test pre- or non-verbal populations, on the major acquisitions underlying the ability to communicate and their origins.

Participation is free of charge, refreshments and lunch will be provided. The workshop has received funding from the LNC, LPC, LPL, the ILCB and the Fed3C.
