Hi fellow researchers,
What properties in natural language does the brain care about? Which properties in language stimuli produce brain responses that are discriminable from others? Are we more likely to find brain regions that selectively respond to “social interaction” or “investments”? We want to know what you think!
We are researchers at The University of Texas at Austin in the Huth Lab. Our lab builds computational models of how the brain processes and understands natural language. We are interested in experts’ perspectives on the functional organization in the brain with respect to language. Any adult researcher who is actively conducting research in language neuroscience or relevant fields is welcome to participate in the study. You will be asked to fill out a 5-minute survey that asks about your opinion on potential properties of language stimuli, and how important they are for understanding language processing in the brain. You will not be compensated for participating in the study, and no further correspondence will be made. The survey results will be included in future publications. This study has been approved by the Microsoft Research Institutional Review Board.
