auditory and visual signals during face-to-face interaction. To do so, you will use a new, cutting-edge technique called
<i>rapid invisible frequency tagging,</i> in combination with dual-EEG and MEG, to study the role of low-frequency neural oscillations in this process.

</b>The MPI for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen is the only research institute in the world entirely devoted to the study of language. Our goal is to understand how our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other aspects of mind, and
how we can learn languages of quite different types. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
