Language Testing During Awake Brain Surgery (FutureLearn)

Offered by University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen - UMCG,
Language Testing During Awake Brain Surgery (FutureLearn)

Discover the importance and the process of language testing during awake brain surgery. Language representation in the brain can be studied by testing language during awake brain surgery. In this course, you will get to know the importance of neurolinguistics and awake brain surgery by seeing the collaboration between surgical staff and neurolinguists before, during and after the operation.

  • Neuroatonomy of the brain
  • Language representation in the brain
  • Brain tumors
  • Awake brain surgery
  • Tailor-made language tests
  • Language testing during awake brain surgery
  • Neurotechnology

What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you'll be able to...

  • Identify the complexity of the language representation in the brain
  • Explain the necessity of awake brain surgery
  • Describe the procedure including direct electrical stimulation (DES)
  • Identify the prerequisites of a good language test
  • Describe the complexity of developing a language test battery for LTABS
  • Evaluate the developments of the field

Who is the course for?
The course has been created for healthcare professionals involved in the procedure of awake surgery, including neurosurgeons and neurosurgical teams but also neurolinguists and clinical linguists who wish to start developing language tests.
Equally, it will be relevant for anyone involved in the procedure before, during and after awake brain surgery including neuro-anaesthesiologists, neuropsychologists, nursing staff and neurologists.
It also delivers useful information for patients with brain tumours and their proxies, to inform them about the surgical procedure they are about to undergo as well as anyone else intrigued by the topic.

De la berceuse chantée au bébé jusqu’au discours enflammé du politicien et ses intonations, du chanteur sous la douche au pianiste virtuose, le langage et la musique font partie de notre vie sociale, intellectuelle et affective tout au long de notre vie. Comment ces informations sont-elles traitées par le cerveau ? Comment est-on capable de déduire l’état émotionnel d’autrui à partir de la mélodie de sa voix, sa prosodie ? Comment la voix est-elle modifiée pendant un épisode émotionnel, quels sont les mécanismes cérébraux à l’œuvre ? Est-ce que l’apprentissage de la musique modifie la structure du cerveau ?

Sci: Mathematics

Learn how to think the way mathematicians do - a powerful cognitive process developed over thousands of years. Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics – at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself.

In this 2-hour-long guided project, we will use an efficient net model and train it on a Brain MRI dataset. This dataset has more than 3000 Brain MRI scans which are categorized in four classes - Glioma Tumor, Meningioma Tumor, Pituitary Tumor and No Tumor. Our objective in this project is to create an image classification model that can predict Brain MRI scans that belong to one of the four classes with a reasonably high accuracy. Please note that this dataset, and the model that we train in the project, is for educational purposes only.

Languages & Literature

Se per l’Occidente mancano testimonianze che non siano quelle indirette di trattazioni specifiche come l’Institutio oratoria di Quintiliano, l’Oriente ha restituito una serie di testimoni diretti delle forme dell’insegnamento del latino,tra I a.C. e VI d.C.: favorita fondamentalmente dall’occupazione militare e dai bisogni dell’amministrazione per tutta la prima età imperiale, nelle province eccentriche dell’Impero, la circolazione del latino venne ulteriormente incentivata da una politica che lo identificava con la lingua dell’amministrazione (e del diritto) a partire dal III secolo. Continuo, infatti, è il contatto dei latinofoni con allofoni che, spesso, si misero alla prova con l’apprendimento della lingua di Roma.

Learn how the world’s endangered languages are revived and why this process is critical to preserving cultural identity. Language is an integral part of society. Wherever we come from, the words we use and the way in which we use them are fundamental to our cultural identity. In today’s increasingly globalised world, however, ‘linguicide’ – the loss of a language – is becoming all too common. But there is hope. The language revival movement has emerged as an important and effective response, and this course will introduce you to its key principles and techniques.
