  • Paper discussion: Sahin et al, Science 2009 Sahin.pdf, Supplement

  • Short reports from people who attended conferences:
    • Matt Davis on NLC meeting
    • Olaf Hauk MEG+language workshop in Paris and the SPR conference in Berlin
    • Jonathan Peelle: an EEG study from Lee Miller that was presented at NLC
  • Olaf Hauk "The early stages of visual word recognition: Parametric analysis of word-evoked EEG and MEG data"
  • Yury Shtyrov would like to give a presentation:
    • "MEG correlates of attention effects on spoken word processing".
  • Jack Rogers presentation
  • Bettina Mohr, Amanda Ludlow, Rachel Moseley, Olaf Hauk, Friedemann Pulvermuller
    • "Action word processing in adults with autism"
  • Meghan Clayards from York. Work on Bayesian models of speech perception, and with Gareth Gaskell on fine-phonetic cues to morphological structure.
  • Action-perception circuits in speech processing
  • Rachel Holland fMRI proposal
  • Olaf Hauk introduced discussion of a paper by the Allen group using dual-task methodology and ERPs to study attention effects on "word processing". They use N400 and P3 as indexes of semantic information retrieval. It could be a starting point for further discussion of some of the points raised at today's [21 January] LG meeting (what do task-effects tell us? what means "early" and "automatic"?). Unfortunately the ERP data are not presented in very much detail (e.g. other parameters than N400, earlier latencies etc.)
  • Zanna Szlachta: project proposal on 'Lexical processing complexity in Polish'
  • uanyuan Chen: project proposal on 'Task dependency in visual word processing'
  • Ph D. presentation: 'The Effect of Lexical Ambiguity on Spoken Word Recognition: Homographs Versus Homophones'

    • Jack Rogers, William Marslen-Wilson & Matthew Davis

  • Olaf Hauk, Anneka Holden & Friedemann Pulvermuller

"Establishing a time-frame for visual word processing: measuring ERPs in a go/no-go task"

  • Matt Davis, Rowena Eason, Jonathan Peelle, Bob Carlyon, Adrian Owen, Ingrid Johnsrude, Jenni Rodd
    • "Barking up the right tree in the absence of attention?"
