How can you win one of the weekly gift cards?..
Kinder zeigen schon früh im Leben soziale Fähigkeiten und einen starken Wunsch, mit Gleichaltrigen zu interagieren. Sie beteiligen sich häufiger an sozialen Interaktionen als unsere nächsten Verwandten, die Menschenaffen, so eine Studie unter der Leitung von Forschenden der University of California, San Diego und der Universität Neuenburg.
Sieben NFS-Mitglieder haben an einer von Raphaela Heesen und Marlen Fröhlich herausgegebenen Sonderausgabe mitgewirkt, die empirische und theoretische Beiträge zu der Idee enthält, dass Sprache wahrscheinlich durch eine besondere Fähigkeit zur sozialen Interaktion ermöglicht wurde.
Eine Delegation des NFS Evolving Language wird an der Gemeinsamen Konferenz zur Sprachevolution (Joint Conference on Language Evolution) in Kanazawa vom 5. Bis 8. September 2022 teilnehmen.

Foregoing the arrival at Campus Biotech of the first MEG in Switzerland, the Human Neuroscience Platform shares a few words on how the MEG will integrate the existing platforms.
Speaking seems to be an easy process, almost working by itself. And yet, our brain is very active when we speak. But how does it work? In 2022 a #magnetoencephalography MEGIN will join the Human Neuroscience Platform of the Campus Biotech. And for the first time in Switzerland, MEG researchers will see what’s happening in the brain as it happens.
Born from the collaboration with the Flux Laboratory and Prof Didier Grandjean from CISA, UNIGE – NCCR Evolving Language, DOUZE MILLE VINGT refers to the internal perception of sound and acts on the capacity to feel the internal physiological activity as indicators of emotions, of the body state.
