This course introduces the key principles and goals of modern neurolinguistics. Neurolinguistics is a science that incorporates methods and paradigms of linguistics and neuroscience.
This course discusses the main units and organizational principles of the human nervous system that underlie our language capacity. You will learn about the neurophysiological aspects of first and second language learning, discover clinical research in speech, reading and writing disorders, and also find out about speech disorders accompanying various psychiatric conditions. The course includes information on the history of neurolinguistics, modern techniques and methods of neurolinguistic research, and also provides detailed examples of several recent studies in the field.
The outline of the course
Module 1 introduces you to the main ideas and history of neurolinguistics. In this module you will learn how the human brain is organized and which cortical areas provide the basis for our language capacity. It also touches upon neuroevolution and the differences between the human brain and the brains of other mammals.
In Module 2 you will learn about modern methods and techniques of neurolinguistic research, such as EEG, MEG, intracranial EEG, evoked and induced potentials.
Module 3 continues the discussion of neurolinguistic research methods, introducing you to the fMRI method. It also provides examples of three recent neurolinguistic studies, detailing every stage: how the experiments were planned and conducted, and how the data was analysed.
Module 4 discusses how children learn their first and second languages. It also touches upon the differences in the ways monolinguals and bilinguals process linguistic information.
Modules 5 and 6 deal with clinical research in neurolinguistics. In Module 5 you will learn about aphasia. We will discuss the underlying causes of this disorder, its main types and different approaches to their classification and assessment. You will also learn about linguistic models based on aphasia data.
Module 6 continues the topic of clinical research in neurolinguistics. In this module you will learn about auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia, their causes and treatment. This module also discusses brain asymmetry with regards to language and dichotic listening as a means of studying brain asymmetry.
Module 7 is devoted to dyslexia and its comorbidities. This module will introduce you to four different approaches to dyslexia. You will also learn what longitudinal studies can tell us about dyslexia.

Career center
Learners who complete Neurolinguistics will develop knowledge and skills
that may be useful to these careers:
Neurolinguists study the relationship between language and the brain. This course may be useful for neurolinguists who want to learn more about the neural basis of language and how it can be affected by neurological disorders.
Psycholinguists study the psychological processes that underlie language comprehension and production. This course may be useful for psycholinguists who want to learn more about the neural basis of language and how it can be affected by neurological disorders.
Computational Neuroscientist
Computational neuroscientists use mathematical and computational models to study the brain and nervous system. This course may be useful for computational neuroscientists who want to learn more about the neural basis of language and how it can be affected by neurological disorders.
Cognitive psychologists study the mental processes that underlie human behavior, including language. This course may be useful for cognitive psychologists who want to learn more about the neural basis of language and how it can be affected by neurological disorders.
