Neurocognition of Language



Neurocognition of Language is intended to develop into a fundamental textbook on language and the brain. It will be started by the students of a seminar course with the same title, at the Departmenf of Psychology at Goethe University Frankfurt / Germany. The texts from the course have been uploaded and we are excited to see how this wikibook will develop in the future!

These chapters are intended as a starting point for the continuous development of the book by future participants in the same class, other students and interested colleagues in the field.
