🎉Excited to have my first-author paper on talker identification accepted to Interspeech’25! So grateful to my amazing co-author @zcguo81, advisor @bchandra_nu, and everyone at @SoundBrainLab. See you soon in Rotterdam! #Interspeech2025
Very cool!!!
(1/4) 🎉 Excited to share our paper “Cortical processing of discrete prosodic patterns in continuous speech”—now out in Nature Communications! We show that Heschl’s Gyrus encodes discrete prosodic categories, beyond just acoustics. Paper: rdcu.be/ebZ96
Can’t wait for @apanhearing today! Ja Young and I will present our poster on talker identification at session 2 (4:15-6pm B64). Feel free to drop by and say hi!
Excited to share our recent work on pupillary measures for talker identification with @jayoung_choi this October! See you all in Chicago! #pupillometry #TalkerIdentification #APAN2024
🎉🎉🎉
DECOR is accepted to #EMNLP2024 main conference 🎉!!! We studied how to effectively detect and correct incoherent English sentences in student essays with reasoning. Hope to see you all in Miami 🏖️
🧠👂🏼New findings from @SoundBrainLab reveal that middle-aged adults w/ normal hearing show reduced neural distinctiveness for speech representations. Could this indicate early cortical changes linked to hidden hearing loss? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Amazing work!!!
A bit late, but my review paper with John Paul Minda, Priya Kalra, and Anthony Cruz is out now at Nature Reviews Psychology! We review the theoretical debate about the mechanisms supporting category learning and how it has evolved over the past 10 years.

Looking forward to presenting at the Advances and Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience (APAN) meeting in Chicago this October! @apanhearing
Love this work!!!

Interested in cognitive pupillometry? 👁️ All of the recordings from the BCBL 2024 Pupillometry Workshop are now on YouTube! 🎥 Watch and follow along to learn how to design pupillometry experiments and prepare and analyze data in R m.youtube.com/watch?v=4756mM…
Delighted to share our perspective piece “Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought” now out in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… (with long-term collaborators (and friends) @spiantado and @LanguageMIT) 1/n
Thrilled to share that ProLex ✍️has been accepted as a Findings paper at #ACL2024 ! This is my very first first-author paper at #aclmeeting . See u all in Thailand 🇹🇭!!! The code and data are now available: github.com/BillyZhang24ko…
🤔As an English second-language learner, I usually have trouble replacing a word, that I frequently used in my essays, with substitutes that show better language proficiency. ✍️Introducing ProLex: a benchmark for language proficiency-oriented lexical substitution 🧵(1/n)
Delighted to share our new preprint! with @AlecMarantz, @DavidPoeppel and @JeanRemiKing: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… "Hierarchical dynamic coding coordinates speech comprehension in the brain" Summary below 👇 1/8
Just over one week left to apply for the @cshlmeetings Genetics & Neurobiology of Language course meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx?c…
Excited to share our work characterizing the encoding of melody using direct recordings from the human auditory cortex! Out today in @ScienceAdvances. Led by @nsankaran72 together with mentors @matt_k_leonard, @FrdricTheuniss1 and Eddie Chang science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… [1/7]
Speech is very human and therefore difficult to measure at the single neuron level. Just yesterday, Khanna et al published a paper in @nature that uses high density Neuropixels recordings to describe how the neurons in our brains represent speech nature.com/articles/s4158…

We’re excited about our first paper looking at speech encoding in single neurons across the depth of human cortex. Out today in @nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… [1/6]
Have you ever wanted to use a functional localizer to isolate language-selective brain areas, but couldn't stomach giving up 10+ minutes of precious scanner time? Good news! Language-selective regions can be robustly identified under 2 minutes! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
