       \n\n\n \n\n\nTITRE : Forecasting Spoken Language Development
 \n\n\n \n\n\nPatrick WONG\n\n\nJeudi le 17 septembre 2026 à 10h30\n\n\nL
 ocal PK-5115 (Il est possible d'y assister en virtuel en vous inscrivant 
 ici)               \n\n\n \n\n\nRÉSUMÉ\n\n\nCan bottom-u
 p neural signals — brain data collected from infancy — forecast how sp
 oken language develops\, better than top-down clinical categories like dia
 gnosis or demographics? Using MRI and EEG\, we build predictive models of 
 language outcomes that outperform standard predictors across typical\, hea
 ring-impaired\, and autism-spectrum populations. Beyond prediction\, these
  models probe how early cortical and subcortical processing grounds native
  and non-native speech perception\, and how restored sensorimotor input\, 
 via cochlear implantation\, recruits brain regions to support language. Th
 e work asks whether grounding language forecasts in neural data\, rather t
 han symbolic or demographic proxies\, better captures how language actuall
 y emerges.\n\n\n \n\n\nBIOGRAPHIE\n\n\nPatrick C. M. WONG is Founding Dir
 ector of CUHK's Brain and Mind Institute and Professor of Linguistics\, Pa
 ediatrics\, and Psychology\, with research centered on how brain-based mea
 sures can forecast and inform interventions for spoken language developmen
 t. His work is interdisciplinary\, spanning infant and adult brain imaging
 \, perceptual psychophysics\, grammar learning\, gene sequencing\, and pre
 dictive modeling of developmental trajectories.\n\n\n \n\n\nRÉFÉRENCES
