Some personal news: I'm excited to announce I'm joining @Google as a Senior Quant UXR!
Deeply thankful for my time in academia and for every person in my network who has helped and blessed me along the way. I'm grateful incredibly excited for this new opportunity at Google.

We’re thrilled to see our advanced ML models and EMG hardware — that transform neural signals controlling muscles at the wrist into commands that seamlessly drive computer interactions — appearing in the latest edition of @Nature.

How do different languages converge on a shared neural substrate for conceptual meaning? We’re excited to share our latest preprint that specifically addresses this question, led by @zaidzada_
David!!! That’s my boss!! @davidpoeppel

🧠🗞️🗣️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

ALT Task screenshots (picture naming: a cartoon picture of Frankenstein; scene description: cartoon image of Dracula hitting Frankenstein) and mean neural activity per word for one electrode in middle temporal gyrus.
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
💥 Key Impact 3:
This paves the way for advances in #CognitiveComputing and audio-related brain–computer (#BCI) applications (e.g., sound/speech reconstruction).
Huge thanks to co-authors @yikeli1054, Iran R. Roman, @davidpoeppel, and to the Interspeech reviewers for the perfect 4/4 score! 🙌
Can’t wait to present and discuss how this bridges machine and human perception! See you in Rotterdam!

One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “Is Ockham’s razor losing its edge? New perspectives on the principle of model parsimony.” Explore the article here: ow.ly/Bs2Y50UWRiN

ALT Double descent of prediction error. Degree-one, degree-three, degree-twenty, and degree-one-thousand polynomial regression fits (magenta; from Left to Right) to data generated from a degree-three polynomial function (green). Low prediction error is achieved by both degree-three and degree-one-thousand models.
neuroscience x urban design? fascinating

If you're interested in using #multimodal ML to better understand human conversational behavior in #videoconferencing, come check out my talk at #ICASSP2025! I'll be giving a talk today at 11:30 in the "Discourse, Dialog, and Machine Translation" session (room MRG.03).
Excited to share that our paper, "Multimodal Machine Learning Can Predict Videoconference Fluidity and Enjoyment," has been accepted for an **oral presentation** at @ieeeICASSP ! #ICASSP ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…

🧠✨ New paper in Nature Communications on Temporal Anticipation! Alpha & Beta oscillations encode event temporal probability density before sensory cues.
With the machine @MatthiasGrabenh and the great scientist @davidpoeppel. @MPI_ae.
Check it out! rdcu.be/edKK0
. @ISCAInterspeech just changed its rebuttal period to April 4-11, which overlaps with @ieeeICASSP.
Given the overlap in research communities, I believe many researchers who submitted to #Interspeech2025 will also be attending #ICASSP2025. Could it be at least a week later?
I have emailed @ISCAInterspeech, but it would be great if you could also reach out to them at [email protected] if this concerns you as well, so they understand that this will affect many people. I’m sure none of us want to be stuck writing a rebuttal in a hotel at #ICASSP!
