Posted some of the lab's Open-Source Image Registration scripts onto github, useful for identifying where ECoG electrodes are located based on intraoperative photography alone, by registering/warping pictures of the brain with and without the ECoG grid. github.com/dbrang/IntraOp…

my first preprint with @DavidJBrang is now live. we tested whether mouth movement improves auditory speech onset encoding and ongoing speech envelope tracking with distinct or overlapping mechanisms (1/7)

#SfN @SfNtweets Thanks everyone for stopping by! Check out our work on speech and multisensory integration with @DavidJBrang at @UMich See you all at San Diego next year 🧠

New paper with @HerveyJumper and @VardhaanAmbati showing that causal (DCS+) language cortex in glioma patients has greater ECoG information encoding (higher entropy and linguistic decoding). DCS+ sites showed stronger oscillations and high gamma, enabling prediction of DCS sites.

🧠🗞️🗣️Finally out! Paper with a way-too-long name for social media. How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in @CommsPsychol

I’m excited to share one of two papers accepted to #Interspeech2025! @ISCAInterspeech “Spectrotemporal Modulation: Efficient & Interpretable Feature Representation for Classifying Speech, Music & Environmental Sounds” 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.23509 #NeuroInspiredML #AudioAI

Excited to share new data led by @YoussefSibih @DavidJBrang . Recent studies defined mechanisms governing growth of gliomas through glioma-neuron crosstalk yet balance between excitatory-inhibitory activity in the human brain following glioma infiltration is poorly understood.

Very happy our new paper led by @yllyyao905 is now out in @CellReports "A left-lateralized dorsolateral prefrontal network for naming" doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

New preprint + toolbox! BrainTRACE is a MATLAB tool for localizing intraOp ECoG electrodes. It was designed for brain tumor patients, but appropriate for all ECoG implants. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/dbrang/BrainTR…

I'm teaching an undergrad EEG/MEG/iEEG methods course and created a pair of interactive webpages to help build intuition about the Fourier Transform. dbrang.github.io/Fourier-Wave-C… dbrang.github.io/Fourier-Wave-E…

New study from the lab! We used ECoG with stimulation of the STG to test for direct (potentially monosynaptic) A-to-V connections in humans. 112 out of 231 visual electrodes (across 19/23 patients) exhibited early responses to STG stimulation (as early as 18ms after stimulation).

New paper out now in JEP:G. "Individual differences in working memory and attentional control continue to predict memory performance despite extensive learning." psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/xg…

Congrats to @candrew123 and @TengXB for this new paper on pitch. Cool way to segregate different aspects / attributes of the perceptual analysis of pitch.

Excited to kick off 2025 with new research in #MachineLearning, #Decoding & #MusicNeuroscience! Our paper, “Temporally Dissociable Neural Representations of Pitch Height and Chroma”, now in @SfNJournals. 🎉 doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO… @DavidPoeppel & @TengXB! 🧠🎵 1/n

We're looking to hire a new lecturer in Psychology at the University of Michigan! The initial appointment is for 3 years and this person would teach our large Intro to Cognitive Psychology course along with smaller courses on topics within their expertise. apply.interfolio.com/160580

I'm very happy that this paper by Francesco Mantegna (now Oxford) and @JOGBCN (now Georgetown) is published. Congrats for some heroic data wrangling! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Unusual experiment (mental imagery of speech planning+MEG) shows cool perspective on speech production

Start 2025 with some music neuroscience reading? Temporally dissociable neural representations of pitch height and chroma osf.io/preprints/psya… @candrew123 & me & @TengXB

Very excited our latest work led by Amir Khalilian-Gourtani is now out at @PNASNews "A corollary discharge circuit in human speech" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
