New manuscript by Viktor Kewenig Prof. Gabriella Vigliocco The LAB Lab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ shows that context can change whether a word is processed as abstract or concrete in the brain: doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… Ecological Brain

New blog post: Collective Intelligence for Deep Learning Recently, Yujin Tang and I published a paper about how ideas like swarm behavior, self-organization, emergence are gaining traction in deep learning. I wrote a blog post summarizing the key ideas: blog.otoro.net/2022/10/01/col…

Very excited to present this #ECoG work at SNL Annual Meeting today. Swing by if you’re here and interested in sentences/lexical access - poster C47 at 10:15! Some of the cleanest results I’ve ever gotten. Work with Adeen Flinker 🇮🇱🇺🇦🎗️ #snl2022 #psycholinguisitcs #neuroscience

SNL has been great! Connecting to old friends and meeting new ones. :) We presented a sandbox poster this time but we have many exciting projects on semantic/conceptual working memory representation on the way! Let’s talk more about those stuff next year! Photo credit @EchoLi1054

hi all! excited to launch our new website🌈queerpsychneuro.com Building a set of useful links, please send along info helpful to #queerinstem folks or if your psych/neuro conference or university has an #lgbtqia group #Slack link available and email blasts if not on slack!

New paper with Ted Gibson, Language Lab MIT Roger Levy Richard Futrell on the comprehension of recursive syntax in language. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/

psychology: we can measure mental states measurement error (me): it's me, hi, i'm the problem, it's me

New work from Me, Tal Linzen, and @linguistbrian to appear at CoNLL: arxiv.org/abs/2210.12187 Q: LM surprisal underestimates garden path effects. Is surprisal a bad theory of processing, or are LM estimates of surprisal just misaligned with human prediction? 🧵below:

Excited to share the preprint of a letter/opinion paper I wrote with my supervisor Ellen Lau! In this paper we propose a new research program, ‘Binding Problem 2.0’, extending the question from visual representations to conceptual representations. 1/9 psyarxiv.com/8hj7f

Happy to share the preprint of our latest work “Amplitude modulation perceptually distinguishes music and speech” David Poeppel Xiangbin Teng M. Florencia Assaneo psyarxiv.com/juzrh/

if nothing tastes as good as skinny feels then your somatosensory cortex has probably hijacked neighbouring gustatory mappings in anterior insula/frontal operculum

Transformers are limited in their ability to generalize over long temporal dependencies. In our NeurIPS Conference paper (#MemARI), we propose a framework for effectively integrating findings from human memory into LMs / transformers. (1/2) arxiv.org/abs/2210.01869

New paper with Nina Kazanina. We argue that the chuncking function of neural oscillations in speech (prosodic) unit tracking does not (cannot) apply to language (syntactic) unit tracking. For many, many reasons.

Another day, another opinion essay about ChatGPT in the The New York Times. This time, Noam Chomsky and colleagues weigh in on the shortcomings of language models. Unfortunately, this is not the nuanced discussion one could have hoped for. 🧵 1/ nytimes.com/2023/03/08/opi…

What’s a 𝑓𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑦? In our new study, Phoebe Chen, David Poeppel, and I investigate how humans utilize lexical-semantic features to interpret novel noun-noun compounds and evaluate the behavior of large language models. Check it out 🫏: tinyurl.com/42tbdxcr

excited to release our large dataset on memory for narratives!🧠💭 The Naturalistic Free Recall Dataset: four stories, hundreds of participants, and high-fidelity transcriptions paper: doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… w/ Phoebe Chen (co-first) todd gureckis David Poeppel Vy Vo

Sharing my new dataset paper with Omri! Excited for future research that can be facilitated by this large dataset~

[Tool] A dataset on human memory for narratives. Open access. nature.com/articles/s4159…

This dataset is now out in Scientific Data, following seriously valuable comments from Sam Nastase (shorturl.at/Id6Gb) and one anonymous reviewer. We hope it facilitates new insights into human memory under naturalistic conditions! nature.com/articles/s4159…
