III. Highlights
Focusing on the frontiers of language and cognitive science to promote interdisciplinary research in language and cognitive science.
Unveiling the mysteries of bilingual brains and cognitive neuroscience and exploring the neural mechanisms of language cognition in bilinguals.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, and other technologies to directly observe brain activity and understand human language scientifically.
Cognitive neuroscience will be the next frontier of language science, and linguists are welcome to attend!
Brain science empowers international Chinese education, and scholars in international Chinese education are welcome to attend!
