About MPI

 

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute of the German Max Planck Society. Our mission is to undertake basic research into the psychological,social and biological foundations of language. The 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.

The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University. We participate in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and have particularly close ties to that institute's Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. We also participate in the Centre for Language Studies. A joint graduate school, the IMPRS in Language Sciences, links the Donders Institute, the CLS and the MPI.

New issue of Nijmegen CNS

Volume 5 of the Nijmegen CNS journal, composed by master students of Cognitive Neuroscience (CNS), will appear on April 23, 2010. The journal contains the latest studies in the interdisciplinary field of Cognitive Neuroscience conducted by research master students at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, the MPI for Psycholinguistics, the Centre for Language Studies, and the Centre for Molecular Life Sciences. It covers topics related to brain, cognitive and behavioural research.

New issue of Nijmegen CNS

April 16, 2010

Nijmegen CNS has been published annually since 2006. 'The journal wants to offer CNS master students a worthy context to present and share their scientific accomplishments with other institutes and laboratories', explains CNS master student Christian Hoffmann. 'It also gives students the unique opportunity to become familiar with the fairly complicated process of scientific publication.' Each year, all the theses get published online, while the best ones are featured in the print version.

Training in publication is essential

'The existence of Nijmegen CNS suggests that we, the associated faculty members, set considerable store by the publication of research results. Indeed we do', says MPI director Anne Cutler in the journal's editorial introduction. 'Publication is an essential part of the research process, and so training in publication ought to be an integral part of the training in research that constitutes any research master's degree.'

Unique

'We are the first Cognitive Neuroscience journal in the Netherlands composed by master students',  Hoffmann proudly concludes. 'This journal is really unique.'
