Neurocognitive Linguistics Laboratory
|
Neurocognitive Linguistics Laboratory is an approach to linguistics developed by Sydney Lamb which uses relational networks to model what the brain actually does when it handles language. You can read more about it at the LangBrain web site and the Glottopedia wiki, or in Lamb's books Pathways of the Brain: The Neurocognitive Basis of Language and Language and Reality: Selected Writings of Sydney Lamb.
Neurocognitive Linguistics Lab (``NeuroLab'' for short) is a program that allows you to experiment with relational networks using a convenient graphical user interface and record the results of your experiments in tabular form. You can use NeuroLab to develop template-based networks that contain millions of nodes.
Neurocognitive Linguistics Laboratory Features:
1. Create relational network diagrams using the Sydney Lambs Abstract Notation, using AND and OR nodes with bidirectional links; or the low-level Narrow Notation using nodes, oscillators, and excitory and inhibitory links.
2. Simulate spreading activation in the network.
3. Collect and save data from your simulations in CSV format.
4. Written in C++ using the cross-platform Qt Framework, via the Qt Creator IDE.
5. Network simulation is implemented using a parallel asynchronous network automaton, which uses all available processor cores for maximum speed.
6. Implement new types of relational network entities using the convenient plugin system.
