Different kinds of individual concepts—from concrete objects to social events—can be decoded from brain activity based on the same (interpretable!) representational code: our new study in JNeuro.

Studies of individuals with brain injury and functional neuroimaging experiments appeared to indicate that concepts for events ("wedding", "storm") and for concrete objects ("spoon", "horse") were partially represented in mutually exclusive brain regions.
Where are concepts of body parts represented?

Great talks from last #CNS2024 are online. My talk is also there at youtu.be/4PbGjA9uvUs?feature… - as I try to talk (very quickly) about both blindness, deafness, and handlessness
Hot off the reels: Keynote and award lectures from #CNS2024 in Toronto. Watch what you missed here or replay your favorites: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Excited to participate in this symposium on conceptual knowledge!
Symposia announced for #psynom24. Ours will feature @asifa_majid @lfernandino @LaurelBuxbaum @vigliocco_g @DiveicaV and Brendan Johns. Hope to see you in NY!

Last week it was announced that NRC Member @lfernandino received a $2M grant from @NIDCD for his pioneering work in neurology!
This important research will help develop interventions for communication impairments from stroke and other injuries.
Congrats, Dr. Fernandino!🥳

NSF workshop on large language models and human language May 13-14. Join virtually - it’s going to be a timely and important discussion.

We'll be hiring a half-time post bacc study coordinator for the lab to replace excellent Troy Holsworth, who's starting med school soon. (yay Troy!)
The ad will be posted "shortly" (in institutional times), but email me if you're interested!
Check out our new paper on the role of the default network on semantic cognition:

Honored and humbled to share that the @NIDCD has recommended funding for my R21!
Building on recent advances in #MachineLearning learning and #ECoG/#EEG, we plan to develop a new paradigm for speech #BCI devices.
With the help of: @LilResearchMCW, @MCW_Anesth, @NeurologyMCW
