About this listen

In today’s episode, I review the neuroscience behind Language Processing and Birdsong. Using material presented in Brain Facts published by the Society for Neuroscience, I talk about how our brain is able to make sense of speech sounds and some of the major brain regions involved with language processing.

My guest is Dr. Marc Schmidt, a Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts & Sciences and the Co-Director of the Undergraduate Neuroscience Program. His lab is broadly interested in understanding the neural mechanisms that underlie courtship display utilizing songbirds.
