MIT's "Street Fighting Mathematics" This course teaches the art of guessing results and solving problems without doing a proof or an exact calculation. readings: ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-098…… (audio generated by NotebookLM)
Next week onwards, I'm teaching a five-day introductory course on Bayesian Data Analysis in Gent. Newly recorded video lectures to accompany the course are now online: vasishth.github.io/LecturesIntroB…
I'm offering a 3-year PhD position with benefits at the University of Stuttgart (1-year extension possible). Research topic is open but broadly in incremental sentence comprehension. If you're into eye-tracking, even better! No teaching obligations until Summer 2027, some light…
How do memory retrieval and prediction work together during sentence comprehension? We use computational modeling + eye-tracking to unpack their interaction in German possessive pronouns. New paper with @_joaoverissimo, @_mesh and @sol_lago doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.…
3rd Workshop on Eye Movements & the Assessment of Reading Comprehension 👁️📖 The full program with abstracts is now online! 🔗 tmalsburg.github.io/ComprehensionW…
Looking forward to hosting @tallinzen and Brian Dillon and their students+people from my lab. The full workshop details (in person only): vasishth.github.io/sentproc-works…
Looking forward to riffing about cognitively plausible memory for language models and why it's good for psycholinguistics at the sentence processing workshop in Potsdam next Tuesday:

🚨ATTN Natural Stories users!🚨 We found a misalignment in the self-paced reading times. Everything is off by one position. In the released dataset, the SPR RTs for the word at index t are actually for index t+1. If you are using the dataset, please use the realigned data.
New study on local coherence, led by @pia_schoknecht : The time course of local coherence effects: Evidence from self-paced reading times and event-related potentials osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Applications close on May 15, 2025.
3rd Workshop on Experimental and Empirical Methods in Linguistics (EEL) CGS, IIT Kanpur is thrilled to announce EEL 2025 -- a hands-on workshop on experimental and computational methods in psycholinguistics. June 25-29, 2025, IIT Kanpur
Computational Psycholinguistics Meeting 2025 cpl2025.sites.uu.nl When: December 18–19, 2025 Where: Utrecht, the Netherlands Abstract submission deadline: June 15, 2025 Organizers: Jakub Dotlačil, Lena Jäger, Bruno Nicenboim, Ece Takmaz
It seems our book is already available for purchase online: routledge.com/Introduction-t…
This year as well, during 14-18 July 2025, I will be teaching an introduction to Bayesian data analysis at the MILS 2025 summer school in Gent: mils.ugent.be
Applications for the ninth summer school on statistical methods for linguistics and psychology close on April 1, 2025. Every year people contact me saying they missed the call, so here it is again :)
Applications are open for the ninth summer school on statistical methods for linguistics and psychology (SMLP 2025), to be held August 25-29, 2025 in Potsdam, Germany: vasishth.github.io/smlp2025/
Our introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis underwent a major revision (it was too long at 1000 pages, so we moved some 400 pages into online). Currently in production but freely available forever:
Our Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis for Cognitive Science (with Nicenboim and Schad) is now in production with CRC Press. It will remain freely available here: bruno.nicenboim.me/bayescogsci/
3rd Workshop on Eye Movements and the Assessment of Reading Comprehension June 5–7, 2025 University of Stuttgart, Germany This cross-disciplinary workshop explores how eye-tracking and machine learning can enhance real-world reading assessments. tmalsburg.github.io/ComprehensionW…
Glad to share that our paper (with @rljfutrell) is now on JML. In this paper, we proposed strategic memory allocation as a mechanism to handle less predictable but more informative linguistic units. Check out this link for more details: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
I'm excited to share that A Solas' official video is now out. If you feel inspired, I would appreciate your support by sharing it with your loved one. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me! Iliana Matos - A Solas (Official Video) youtu.be/WspHlxo_Ylo?si… via @YouTube
