Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain (ILCB)

Bringing together experts in linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, medicine and computer science to understand and to model the way that language functions.

The ILCB constitutes a major initiative in Cognitive Science. It aims to explore the neural basis of human language and communication by studying the components of L&C and proposing unifying models and architectures. The originality and ambition of the ILCB lies in the integration of a wide range of disciplines, methodologies and experimental techniques that all contribute to the description of human language processing and communication (as paradigmatic examples of high-level cognitive functions) in laboratory and naturalistic settings.
