The brain dynamics of linguistic computation.
TL;DR: It is argued that the universality of language is not to be found purely in the genome as has long been suggested, but more specifically within the extraordinarily preserved nature of mammalian brain rhythms employed in the computation of linguistic structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging the Gap between Genes and Language Deficits in Schizophrenia: An Oscillopathic Approach.
TL;DR: This paper will focus on how the schizophrenic brain processes language and, particularly, on its distinctive oscillatory profile during language processing and will show that candidate genes for schizophrenia are overrepresented among the set of genes that are believed to be important for the evolution of the human faculty of language.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Oscillopathic Nature of Language Deficits in Autism: From Genes to Language Evolution
TL;DR: It is shown that interpreting language deficits in ASD as oscillopathic traits is a potentially fruitful way to construct successful endophenotypes of this condition, and it will be shown that candidate genes for ASD are overrepresented among the genes that played a role in the evolution of language.
Journal ArticleDOI
Language deficits in schizophrenia and autism as related oscillatory connectomopathies: An evolutionary account
TL;DR: The goal is to narrow the gap between SZ and ASD and give support to the view that they represent abnormal (but related) ontogenetic itineraries for the human faculty of language and argue that brain rhythms constitute the best route to interpreting language deficits in both conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Labels, cognomes, and cyclic computation: an ethological perspective.
TL;DR: It is shown that the operation Label, not Merge, constitutes the evolutionary novelty which distinguishes human language from non-human computational systems; a proposal lending weight to a Weak Continuity Hypothesis and leading to the formation of what is termed Computational Ethology.
