How does synaesthesia shape the way we perceive and think? How does it happen in the brain? We're excited to launch our new @LeverhulmeTrust-funded project. Learn more & get involved - visit our website: birkbeck-synaesthesia.weebly…

In this project, generously funded by @LeverhulmeTrust, we'll explore the cognitive and neural basis of the fascinating experiences of #synaesthesia! If you suspect you may have synaesthesia and want to get involved, visit surveymars.com/q/3O5k0Ax5H 🌈🧠🌞
📣8 funded, part-time PhD training posts at UoL! If you are interested in doing a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience in a supportive/friendly environment, with training in fMRI, EEG and TMS/tDCS methods, please get in touch at [email protected]! my.corehr.com/pls/coreportal…

We have a new preprint: doi.org/10.64898/2026.02.15.…
There’s been a long-standing conflict about the role of angular gyrus in semantic processing: Why is it more active for concrete than abstract semantics? Does it play any role in abstract concepts despite its less activation?
Francesca Branzi retweeted
I wrote this Cortex commentary in response to a recent fMRIstudy on the angular gyrus's role in segmenting continuous info (speech, music, film), reviewing key findings & discussing how human connectome research can illuminate neural event segmentation.
