workshop adresses methodological aspects of transcranial magnetic
stimulation
(TMS) and its application in language research. Joseph Devlin, our
invited speaker, will present on the functioning of TMS and on TMS in
neurolinguistic research on Monday, October 8th 2012. He will address
the following questions:

1)      What is transcranial magnetic
stimulation and how does it work?
