This symposium brings together leading researchers to examine how the brain anticipates forthcoming speech—from prosodic cues and lexical forms to semantic content. Topics include neural markers of prediction in the sub-lexical level, anticipatory brain activity in sentence comprehension, the role of sensorimotor systems in semantic processing, and predictive mechanisms during naturalistic language understanding. This event provides an in-depth overview of recent advances in the study of predictive processing in speech. The talks will be in a hybrid format.

Fika will be provided. Kindly register your interest in participating to help us plan the appropriate amount of refreshments (cookies and fruits).
