Previously, language function in the brain was considered an impermeable \u201cblack box\u201d. However, during the last ten or so years, non-invasive brain function techniques, such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG), have made it possible for us to see which parts of the brain are activated when we are engaged in language processing. The LBC Center aims to uncover the language mechanism in the brain, which has been hitherto considered a mysterious \u201cblack box\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LBC Center consists of researchers with various linguistic backgrounds as its core, supported by researchers from other disciplines, such as brain sciences, psychology, and information sciences. In addition to devoting itself to research, the LBC Center collaborates with the GSICS in conducting an MA program, the \u2018International Graduate Program in Language Sciences\u2019, which is conducted entirely in English. Through this program the LBC Center commits itself to functioning as an educational institute as well. As part of educational activities, the LBC Center regularly conducts colloquiums, public lectures, and both domestic and international symposia on various topics of language sciences; and these events are widely open to the general public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intcul.tohoku.ac.jp\/igpls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/rc_p_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138\" width=\"246\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intcul.tohoku.ac.jp\/igpls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/rc_p_01.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.intcul.tohoku.ac.jp\/igpls\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/rc_p_01-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/lbcresearchcenter\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LBC Research Center Website (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">LBC Research Center Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><br><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Research Center for Language, Brain and Cognition Following a successful government-sponsored five-year 21st Center of Excellence (COE) research project, the Research Center for Language, Brain and Cognition (LBC) was established in April 2007.
