Early rejection experience of @davidpoeppel and @GregoryHickok.
David says if you believe your ideas are right but challenge the field, don’t be discouraged but keep persisting. Some of the most influential work faced negative reception.

🎉So excited to share my first-author paper that's now available in Brain Structure and Function! So grateful to my amazing advisor @NeuroTyler, co-author @jayoung_choi, and everyone at @buslhs. Please reach out if you can't access the full-text!

In @eLife: Against cortical reorganisation doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84716 Tamar Makin @plasticity_lab & I argue that one area of the brain cannot take over for another as claimed by remapping studies. Instead brain largely fixed in its capacities but some latent & can be up-regulated.
Coming soon! NIDCD will be seeking a Health Scientist Administrator (Program Officer) to support the Voice, Speech, and Language Program. We anticipate the application portal will open on Jan. 13, 2025. More info: go.nih.gov/k4W8jLR#NIDCDjobs#NIHjobs
ALT Coming Soon: Health Scientist Administrator (Program Officer), Voice, Speech, and Language Program
I'm bewildered by predatory journals that email you using the title of one of your own papers as the subject line... it's like being bombarded by the squawking of some sort of deranged science parrot. 🦜
Our preprint is now a paper!!
Deep-learning models reveal how context and listener attention shape electrophysiological correlates of speech-to-language transformation.

!!! New lab preprint !!! – led by @4J4nderson – quite excited about this one…
Context and Attention Shape Electrophysiological Correlates of Speech-to-Language Transformation
A brief thread below:
Upcoming in the Seminar Series, Department Head Derek Houston of @UConnSLHS will be giving a talk on "The Effects of Hearing Differences on Parent-Child Interactions and Novel Word Learning."
We welcome you to join us!
Friday, November 15th in Sargent College, Room 220.
Mark your calendar 🗓 for CSD T32 Research Day on Tuesday! This event brings together our research community across departments and institutions to celebrate the work of these talented trainees.
🗓 Nov. 12
🕘 9:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
📍610 Comm. Ave.
Cool work showing that personalizing the stimuli can improve detection and reliability of the cortical language network mapping in children: direct.mit.edu/imag/article/…
The #ASHFoundation has awarded Joyce Chung, a @buslhs student in the MS in speech-language pathology program, a prestigious 2024 Graduate Student Scholarship! She will be honored at a reception at the annual @ASHAWeb convention.
Congrats, Joyce! 🙌🙌

Join us this Friday 11/1 for our in-person seminar, joined by UMD Assistant Professor, Nikolas Francis! @sanacerebri
"Neural Correlates of Perception and Cognition in Mouse Auditory Cortex"
See you on Friday at 10:30am in CILSE 106C.
Do you like building great tools for behavioral measurement? We are seeking a Research Scientist to act as the tasks lead and engineering manager for a large-scale project on developmental data collection with children ages 2-12 called LEVANTE: levante-network.org.
We just wrote a primer on how the physics of sound constrains auditory perception:

Covers sound propagation and object interactions, and touches on their relevance to music and film.
I enjoyed working on this with @vin_agarwal and James Traer.
#BUCLD49 is honored to present the SLD Annual Symposium at Boston University! 💫
This year’s SLD Symposium will present 'Neural Coding in Speech, Language, and Cognition,' featuring esteemed speakers Dr. Edward Chang, Dr. Laura Gwilliams, and Dr.Brad Mahon.
