Nijmegen Lectures - July 5, 6, 7, 2022 with Stanislas Dehaene

It ought to have taken place last year, but was postponed due to the pandemic. The focus is on Dehaene's works.

Lecture 3: How we learn: neuronal recycling and the neural code for written words
Recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and neuroscience are starting to shed light on what is perhaps the most remarkable competence of the human brain: its capacity to change itself through education. In this talk, I will focus on reading acquisition. By scanning children every two months during the first year of school, as they acquire reading, and by comparing the results with those of illiterate adults, we obtained a detailed picture of how ventral visual cortex and language areas are enhanced by reading acquisition. I will also describe intracranial and single-cell recordings that shed growing light on how the ventral visual pathway recycles itself in order to encode letter strings. Our growing understanding of the psychology and neuroscience of literacy has important consequences for how our schools should teach reading

The lectures will be put online. If one is not a specialist it is somewhat hard to digest.
I didn't listen to all of it but will study it again with more time.
There is one methodological thing for language learners that is implicated in what I briefly heard: the relationship between the reading while listening to the audio method.
Listening is born into us through evolution, reading (writing) is not, it is a human invention that uses and expands the "face recognition" capacity of the brain, this interaction is beneficial.
