Platform for neurolinguistic experiments

2023: Product Announcement

Employees of Tomsk State University (TSU) and IT company IPST have created a digital platform for neurolinguistic experiments. The press service of the university announced this on July 7, 2023.

Within the framework of the new system, it is possible to create neurolinguistic experiments and adjust their parameters; upload, process, store and analyze data on the studies performed; generate statistics based on cognitive linguistics methods. And all this without the use of algorithmic programming languages ​ ​ and third-party software by experimenters. AI technologies allow you to automate the process of processing and visualizing results and form a single experimental base in the field of cognitive linguistics, the developers note.

TSU employees created a digital platform for neurolinguistic experiments

According to the project manager, head of the department of general, computer and cognitive linguistics, PhilF TSU Zoya Rezanova, the social upheaval that has taken place in recent years led to the need to create domestic software for online experiments.

If earlier experiments were mostly carried out in laboratory conditions, then during a pandemic everyone had to go into the online space. The global community has begun to test the legitimacy of conducting experiments when the subject and the researcher interact online, she says. - Platforms for conducting experiments have appeared in the world, but now in connection with geopolitical events they are all closed for us, and the task of creating our own product has become acute.

It is noted that by July 7, 2023, basic experiments have already been developed, and now scientists are going to scale the platform for testing new types of experiments and expanding the spectrum of their possible designs. And in the summer of 2023, the platform will be tested by Russian and foreign universities.^[1]
