The CRBLM will hold its annual Scientific Day on Friday, May 2, at UQAM. The day will include the Annual General Meeting, a keynote talk by Dani Bassett on "Mental models of networked information systems from music to language," and student posters. Deadline for abstracts: Friday, April 5.
The Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music – CRBLM – is a strategic research group with a unique interdisciplinary focus on language, music, and their intersection.
Language and music are specialized human modes of communication, which at their core, involve perceptually discrete elements organized into hierarchically structured sequences that give rise to different degrees of meaning. Our global objective is to foster a research and training environment that supports innovative cognitive, cultural, and neuroscientific approaches that gather unique insights into the organization of the human brain for speech, language, music and communication.
Bringing together a critical mass of researchers with complementary interests and expertise in brain, language, and music, both human and animal models of their function and dysfunction, the CRBLM represents the largest concentration of basic and applied research internationally on this interdisciplinary enterprise.
The Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music – CRBLM – is a strategic research group with a unique interdisciplinary focus on language, music, and their intersection. The CRBLM represents a novel and innovative integration of researchers with interdependent but complementary expertise from diverse disciplines focused on the unique neurobiological and social endowments of language and music.
