Title: Interdisciplinary approaches to respiration
Abstract: Breathing is a physiological rhythm that accompanies us from birth to death. Yet, beyond its primal function of oxygen exchange, respiration emerges as a linchpin, it plays an inherent role in spoken language, movement, and cognitive processes in the brain. In this seminar, I will provide an overview of interdisciplinary approaches and empirical findings that cast new illumination on respiration as a research topic and make references to language acquisition and evolutionary trajectories of human communication.
