Pre-Conference Science Divulgation Talk (in Spanish)

Ponente: Esti Blanco-Elorrieta (Harvard University / New York University)

Título: De ondas de sonido a significado: como entiende nuestro cerebro los idiomas? 

Resumen: Cuando hablamos creamos ondas de sonido que nuestro cerebro decodifica para entender que los sonidos /p/ /e/ /r/ /r/ /o/ se refirieren a un animal mamifero. Cómo se desarrolla este proceso? Y qué ocurre cuando alguien es bilingüe? En esta charla responderé a estas preguntas y explicaré como procesan los humanos el lenguaje.

Lugar: Salón de Actos del Centro de Investigación Micaela Portilla
