Fundamentals & Applications of EEG

Electroencephalography for Linguists introduces the electroencephalogram (EEG) and summarizes the state of the art in psycho– and neurolinguistic EEG research. Participants will study the neuronal substrate, recording, and analysis of scalp-level EEG data. They will learn about the timeline of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) from auditory perception to higher-level language comprehension—focusing on those ERPs that relate to sentence processing, highlighting the potential of the ERP methodology for experimental syntax research.
