More from Pulvermuller on functional anatomic models of language

In case Talking Brains readers missed it, Friedemann has posted a comment on one of my previous posts. Check it out here, and scroll down to see Friedemann's comment:

In that comment he has a link to a more detailed response which you can find here.

Now that we have an active dialog going, I think we can make some progress on convergence of ideas. Thanks much Friedemann! I'll post a response soon.

Greg Hickok is Professor of Cognitive Sciences at UC Irvine, Editor-in-Chief of Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, and author of The Myth of Mirror Neurons. David Poeppel, after several years as Professor of Linguistics and Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park, is now Professor of Psychology at NYU. Hickok and Poeppel first crossed paths in 1991 at MIT in the McDonnell-Pew Center for Cognitive Neuroscience where Hickok was a post doc, and Poeppel a grad student. Meeting up again a few years later at a Cognitive Neuroscience Society Meeting in San Francisco, they began a collaboration aimed at developing an integrated model of the functional anatomy of language. Research in both the Hickok and Poeppel labs is supported by NIDCD.
