SUMMARY:Conférence d'Evelina Fedorenko - 'Syntactic processing in language
  and music'
DESCRIPTION:Evelina Fedorenko\, chercheuse au MIT (Department of Brain & Co
 gnitive Sciences) donnera une conférence au Laboratoire international d
 e recherche sur le cerveau\, la musique et le son (BRAMS) intitulée «Sy
 ntactic processing in language and music: Existence of overlapping circui
 ts does not imply lack of specialized ones».RésuméOver the last severa
 l years\, a number of behavioral\, ERP\, MEG\, and fMRI studies have argue
 d for overlap in processing musical and linguistic structure (e.g.\, Patel
  et al.\, 1998\; Maess et al.\, 2001\; Koelsch et al.\, 2002\; Koelsch et 
 al.\, 2005\; Fedorenko et al.\, 2009\; Slevc et al.\, 2009\; Hoch et al.\,
  2011\; see e.g.\, Koelsch\, 2005\, Slevc\, 2012\, or Tillmann\, 2012\, fo
 r reviews). The presence of overlap in cognitive/neural mechanisms that su
 pport syntactic processing in music and language is sometimes taken as evi
 dence against functional specialization in each domain. However\, the pres
 ence of overlapping circuits in no way bears on whether additional special
 ized circuits exist (e.g.\, Patel\, 2003). Indeed\, double-dissociations b
 etween high-level linguistic and musical processing in patients with brain
  damage suggest at least some degree of independence between these two dom
 ains (e.g.\, Luria et al.\, 1965\; Peretz\, 1993\; Dalla Bella & Peretz\, 
 1999\; Peretz & Coltheart\, 2003\; cf. Ustvedt\, 1937\; Patel et al.\, 200
 8). I will summarize recent fMRI evidence for functional specialization fo
 r linguistic and musical structural processing. In particular\, a number o
 f brain regions in the left frontal and temporal cortices that robustly re
 spond to the presence of structure in the linguistic signal show little or
  no response to musical structure (Fedorenko\, Behr & Kanwisher\, 2011\; a
 lso Rogalsky et al.\, 2011). Furthermore\, several regions in the bilatera
 l temporal cortices that respond to the presence of structure in music are
  not sensitive to linguistic structure (Fedorenko\, McDermott\, Norman-Hai
 gnere & Kanwisher\, 2012). I will further argue that the overlap that has 
 been observed between syntactic processing in language and music arises wi
 thin a highly domain-general fronto-parietal network\, the “multiple dem
 and” network (e.g.\, Duncan\, 2010)\, which includes parts of Broca’s 
 area (Fedorenko\, Duncan & Kanwisher\, 2012). I will conclude with some hy
 potheses about the roles of the specialized vs. domain-general regions in 
 syntactic processing in each domain. À propos d'Evelina Fedorenko Evelina
  (Ev) Fedorenko received her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Lingui
 stics from Harvard University in 1998 and her Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscie
 nce from MIT in 2002. She stayed on at MIT for her postdoctoral training i
 n the Kanwisher lab\, where she is currently a research scientist. She see
 ks to understand 1) the representations and computations that underlie hu
 man communicative abilities\, and 2) the relationship between the language
  system and other cognitive/neural systems\, such as the domain-general mu
 ltiple-demand system (Duncan\, 2010)\, the system supporting social cognit
 ion\, or the system supporting musical and more general auditory processin
 g. To do so\, she is adopting individual-subject fMRI analysis methods tha
 t have been successful in other domains (e.g.\, vision)\, supplementing th
 ose with behavioral investigations of healthy and brain-damaged individual
 s and more temporally-sensitive methods like ECoG.»» Cet événement se
