Hot off the presses in @eLife! Work with @matt_k_leonard, Matthias Sjerps & Eddie Chang (@ChangLabUCSF).
Here, we combine behavior, ECoG recordings, & computational modeling to examine the neural encoding of a temporal speech cue (VOT) in human STG [1/7] elifesciences.org/articles/5…

My Lord, how have I not read this book before now? I'm only on page 19, and I've already dogeared it to death. If I wait until I'm done to do quotes like I usually do, it'll be the longest post in history. Instead, I'll do them as I go.
It’s out! Our chapter in a great new SHAR volume! @ChangLabUcsf

The corona virus is so successful because it exploits weaknesses in our immune system AND in our ability to reason about probabilities.

Bayesian modeling of perception and action: draft of book with Konrad Kording (@KordingLab) and Daniel Goldreich (@dangoldreich) done after 10 years...
To be published by @mitpress but already freely available on bayesianmodeling.com. Comments are welcome (link there)!! 1/2
Very proud of our work to synthesize a lot of amazing research in a new chapter w @ChangLabUcsf & @YuliaOganian in forthcoming Springer Handbook of Auditory Research (Ed. @jpeelle & Lori Holt): Cortical Representation of Speech Sounds: Insights from Intracranial Electrophysiology

Nobody wants to make mistakes, but we all do! Consider setting aside a lab meeting this year to talk about how to prevent and detect errors in your own work. More at ErrorTight.com.
In episode 41, @juliafstrand and @jpeelle talk about Error Tight, Julia’s project to help others avoid making errors in their work.
Research mistakes reflect a failure of systems rather than a failure of people—so let’s improve our systems!

I’m also excited to share a new interactive brain viewer to accompany our @CellCellPress paper on speech processing in the human brain! You can play around with the data + click on electrodes to see their receptive fields and stimulation results. speechbrainviewer.com

It’s been a long road to get here, but our paper (with @YuliaOganian, @ChangLabUcsf, and Jeffery Hall) is now out in @CellCellPress! We found that speech processing may partly bypass A1 using ECoG recordings, stimulation, and an ablation case study. authors.elsevier.com/c/1dbe2…

Thrilled to share: starting Dec'21 I will lead a research group at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. We will study the cognitive and neural mechanisms of dynamic cognition (timing, attention, prediction…). Hiring soon, add coming! @MPICybernetics @TueNeuroCampus

10 years of replication and reform in psychology. What has been done and learned?
Our latest paper prepared for the Annual Review summarizes the advances in conducting and understanding replication and the reform movement that has spawned around it.

Delaying school start times by 1hr = 1) more sleep, 2) better attendance, and 3) superior academic performance. Conclusion: "A delay in school start time should be seriously considered to improve sleep and academic achievements of students." Quite. tinyurl.com/y46bgt5t

Excited to share a new project: The Language Neuroscience Podcast. Aimed at scientists interested in the neural substrates of language (students/postdocs/faculty). Episode 1: my first guest is the brilliant @ev_fedorenko. Please listen, share, & subscribe! langneurosci.org/podcast
Y’all! Check out my new paper in press at JEP:LMC w/ first author @violetsarebrown + @juliafstrand!
Grammatical number cues guide listeners’ expectations & constrain (but don’t extinguish) activation of grammatically incongruent referents that sound the same.
Prereg + OpenData!
To celebrate our latest VWP (Visual World Paradigm) paper being accepted (!!), @juliafstrand and I have created a new paradigm: the DWP (Drinkable World Paradigm) 🧵
Ancient/Evergreen advice on making figures for scientific articles (or anything):
“Statistical projections which speak to the senses without fatiguing the mind possess the advantage of fixing the attention on a great number of important facts.”
- Alexander von Humboldt (1814)
This biography of Alexander von Humboldt by Andrea Wulf is awesome, by the way.
