How strong is the Rhythm of Perception? Molly Henry, Jonathan Peelle, and team found out in a large-scale registered replication of Hickok, et al. 2015. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
Very cool work!
First first-author paper now in @ScienceMagazine! Great thanks to incredible mentor @reziliusReza and coauthors @just_alden @pauliehage @HElseweifi. We asked how neurons in the cerebellar cortex control rapid eye movements (saccades). 1/3 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
In our first installment of “Why federally funded social science research matters,” @UCIrvine cognitive and language scientist Gregory Hickok shares expert insight on something many of us take for granted: our ability to speak and understand language. socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/new…
Why federally funded social science research matters | @UCIrvine social scientists weigh in on this critically important topic in new special report socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/new…

Our study of phonological processing in word recognition, N= 150 acute stroke Pts. We assessed the degree to which phonological perception is bilateral vs. left dominant. Ans: it's bilateral in the majority of people. ~18% are (atypically) left dominant. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
20+ years ago, an idea about cortical lateralization of audition was advanced: asymmetric sampling in time AST. This extensive review/reevaluation by @chantaloderbolz, me, and Martin Meyer assesses how the idea has fared. #notallwrong sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
