But researchers from ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University, MIT, and Cornell University have taken a step in this direction. They have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can learn the rules and patterns of human languages on its own.</p> Wed, 12 Oct 2022 14:27:33 +0000 webfull 183582 at /channels Understanding our perception of rhythm /channels/channels/news/understanding-our-perception-rhythm-331838 <p>Scientists have long known that while listening to a sequence of sounds, people often perceive a rhythm, even when the sounds are identical and equally spaced. One regularity that was discovered over 100 years ago is the <i>Iambic-Trochaic Law</i>: when every other sound is loud, we tend to hear groups of two sounds with an initial beat. When every other sound is long, we hear groups of two sounds with a final beat. But why does our rhythm perception work this way?</p> Thu, 08 Jul 2021 16:31:29 +0000 webfull 171523 at /channels Within and across phrases agreement: different windows into syntax processing /channels/event/within-and-across-phrases-agreement-different-windows-syntax-processing-256206 <p>Most ERPs study of syntactic processing applied a violation paradigm to the subject-verb agreement relation.</p> Mon, 19 Oct 2015 22:54:20 +0000 webfull 113383 at /channels First language wires brain for later language-learning /channels/news/first-language-wires-brain-later-language-learning-257068 <p>Research also demonstrates brain's plasticity and ability to adapt to new language environments Tue, 01 Dec 2015 16:45:36 +0000 webfull 114372 at /channels Bilingualism over the lifespan: Changing perspectives for an evolving field /channels/news/bilingualism-over-lifespan-changing-perspectives-evolving-field-239728 <p><p>It’s a scene that plays out every day in Montreal.
