What happens in the brain when we produce, hear or read a word?

                 The effortless action of recognizing words we hear and produce involves a series of subtle cognitions that until recently could not be assessed in depth. ACESIN Lab is coordinated by Aniela Improta França to investigate the neurophysiological underpinnings of lexical access and human language, more specifically the syntactic, morphophonological and semantic phases of the process. 
         In order to do this we use on-line psycholinguistics protocols and event-related brain potential (ERPs) recordings extracted from the scalp of volunteers while they read or hear linguistic stimuli. 
       ACESIN gathered a strong team of undergraduate and graduate students who study Generative Grammar and Neuroscience of Language. We also cooperate with several neuroscience labs that use language as stimulation or object of study.
