• February 2018
The human brain is an infinitely complex machine, and one of the simplest tasks in everyday life- language perception- involves intricate mechanisms within the brain. Dr. Niedzielski is a linguistic psychologist who has researched these intricacies for a long time, and her talk details all the factors that go into speech and language perception: how context helps the brain make decisions, how our sight affects our language and how the brain is imperfect.
