Perceiving Motion, Producing Meaning: How Sign Language Rewires the Body and Brain

Thursday, October 23, 2025 · Virtual

Poster · Cognitive Neuroscience

How does visual language reshape the perception–production loop? This roundtable integrates neurophysiological, kinematic, and behavioral findings to explore how sign language experience transforms motion perception and motor control. We examine how signers and learners dynamically adapt to linguistic demands, revealing new insights into predictive processing and sensorimotor plasticity in communication.
