Event Details

The newly established Brain and Bilingual Experience Lab (BaBEL) in the Department of Linguistics and English Language, 快播视频, is pleased to announce a theory and practical training EEG workshop.

Professor (UiT the Arctic University of Norway), Dr. (Max Plank Institute for Psycholinguistics) and Dr. (University of Bergen) will deliver the training program over two days, November 4-5, 2024.

Theory and training will lean towards both bi-/multilingual linguistic processing, although it will also be globally relevant (e.g. monolingual processing), and using EEG in the context of investigating neurocognitive adaptations to (bi-/multilingual) language experience.

No prior knowledge of the method is assumed nor experience with theories or experimental methods, although the workshop will (ideally) move at an accelerated pace. On Day 2, Tuesday, November 5, you will be assigned to Group A, B, C and D and attend the time slot that corresponds to your group

Monday, November 4:

  • 10.00-12.00: A general introduction to EEG and language bi/multilingualism (theory/design/method) (venue: )
  • 12.00-13.30: Lunch break (on own)
  • 13.30-14.30: ERP (a bit of theory but mostly practical) (Fieldtrip & Brain Vision Analyzer (BVA) (venue: )
  • 14.30-15:00: Break
  • 15.00-17.00: Training with EEG system (capping, testing, working with BVA, run a flanker task and Resetting State EEG recording) (venue: Fylde D18)

Tuesday, November 5:

  • 10.00-11.00: Introduction to oscillatory dynamics (task-based and task-free) - theory (venue: Fylde D18)
  • 11.00-12.00: Resting-state analyses and Time-frequency analysis - practical (venue: Fylde D18)
  • 12.00-13.30: Lunch break (on own)
  • 13.30-15.00: Breakout session Group A and B
