In @eLife: Against cortical reorganisation doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Tamar Makin @plasticity_lab & I argue that one area of the brain cannot take over for another as claimed by remapping studies. Instead brain largely fixed in its capacities but some latent & can be up-regulated.
Cool work showing that personalizing the stimuli can improve detection and reliability of the cortical language network mapping in children: direct.mit.edu/imag/article/d…

I'm bewildered by predatory journals that email you using the title of one of your own papers as the subject line... it's like being bombarded by the squawking of some sort of deranged science parrot. 🦜
Our preprint is now a paper!! Deep-learning models reveal how context and listener attention shape electrophysiological correlates of speech-to-language transformation. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…
!!! New lab preprint !!! – led by @4J4nderson – quite excited about this one… Context and Attention Shape Electrophysiological Correlates of Speech-to-Language Transformation A brief thread below:

Our brain operates at various spatial scales, from local to global. Do they govern different functions? A broad review on multiscale brain & cognition, out in @TrendsCognSci spanning Cog/Sys/Comp Neuro work in 🐭🐵🧑! Team @JeongjunPark2 @monicarosenb authors.elsevier.com/c/1k2DP4sIRvTB…
Congratulations, Joyce! So well deserved!
The #ASHFoundation has awarded Joyce Chung, a @buslhs student in the MS in speech-language pathology program, a prestigious 2024 Graduate Student Scholarship! She will be honored at a reception at the annual @ASHAWeb convention. Congrats, Joyce! 🙌🙌 #proudtoBUSargent #slpeeps
Looking forward to this seminar on Friday! 🐁🧠🔊
Join us this Friday 11/1 for our in-person seminar, joined by UMD Assistant Professor, Nikolas Francis! @sanacerebri "Neural Correlates of Perception and Cognition in Mouse Auditory Cortex" See you on Friday at 10:30am in CILSE 106C.
Do you like building great tools for behavioral measurement? We are seeking a Research Scientist to act as the tasks lead and engineering manager for a large-scale project on developmental data collection with children ages 2-12 called LEVANTE: levante-network.org.
