报告题目：Electrical insights into the workings of the human  mind: the example of bilingualism

报告摘要：To study how one human brain handles two or more  languages is both challenging and yet fertile because it combines the study of  human language with that of another highly evolved and complex mental operation  system in the brain: Attention. Being able to understand or produce one language  while keeping the other language under full cognitive control, being able to  switch back and forth from one language to another, requires high levels of  executive control, probably involving mental inhibition and selection in their  finest forms. Modern techniques of investigation such a magnetic resonance  imaging or electrophysiology offer invaluable insight into the workings of the  bilingual mind at various representation levels: sounds and spelling of  language, order and grammatical properties of words, meaning of words and  sentences. We can now start dismantling and modelling the intricate processes at  the core of language and human thought.
