I'm thrilled to be involved in this new study with Randy Buckner's group at Harvard. Clearly demonstrates two hierarchical levels in the language network using precision fMRI. More evidence that the neural architecture of language is hierarchical and structured. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

I’m thrilled this new study is finally out pointing to a low activity coding scheme for linguistic representations. Amazing work from @adumbmoron
New paper in @ScienceAdvances ! 10 ECoG patients perofrmed 3 language production tasks: word, word list, and sentence production. We found surprising dissociations between how active cortical sites were and whether they encoded linguistic information: 🧵 doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aec05…

New Annual Review with @nathanieldaw. We argue that the planning machinery of the brain is mostly used for learning from simulated experience, and that thinking prospectively at decision time is just one special case of this more general process. annualreviews.org/content/jo…

New paper that merits a read (Im totally unbiased...not). Simple, straightforward, impactful message. Prediction a la LLM is nice. Constituent-constrained prediction is nicer. @jiajiezou.bsky.social and Nai Ding show brain, behavioral, MEG, ECoG data. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Please reach out to me if you have had problematic experiences with @GNYInsurance We have had appalling, shocking, outrageous experiences following a large apartment building fire in Massachusetts - in 2021! We are interested in collecting evidence concerning GNY.

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak. He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected. France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy. Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust. Honestly? Understandable. Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

Writing out a conversation I’ve been having a lot at this conference: Things in US science are far, far worse than people know. Far worse than even other scientists know. 1/

Phonological processing=left dorsal stream? Not in Mexican Spanish-speaking children at reading onset. Here, bilateral ventral pathways predict phonological awareness. Neuroscience must broaden the populations it studies to build generalizable brain models.doi.org/10.1162/NOL.a.246

Great opportunity for important work and training! I hope to collaborate closely with Nina and Pierre on this innovative cog sci/ cog neuro project.
New PhD and post-doc job openings! Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @unige_en Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG). Full details: job offer below

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap dbrang.github.io/EEG-Dipole-… Github: github.com/dbrang/EEG-Dipole…
