⭐🗣️New preprint out: 🗣️⭐ “Using Information Theory to Characterize Prosodic Typology: The Case of Tone, Pitch-Accent and Stress-Accent” with Cui Ding, Giovanni Acampa, Tiago Pimentel, Alex Warstadt, Tamar Regev: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.07659

My paper came out in nature neuro today. We paid a TON for it to come out. Took 16 months of review. And after peer review? The editorial team asked me to cut my methods by more than 50% in length. And we wonder why there’s a reproducibility crisis????? THAT. >

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL (#acl2025nlp) or ICML (#icml2025 ) and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/ac…

Thank you Michael C. Frank and Asifa Majid for making the OECS happen, and Marina Bedny for section editing! Here is an article on the neuroscience of syntax: doi.org/10.21428/e2759…

Maybe the best graduation speech I have ever heard❤️

Dear MAGA friends, I have been worrying about STEM in the US a lot, because right now the Senate is writing new laws that cut 75% of the STEM budget in the US. Sorry for the long post, but the issue is really important, and I want to share what I know about it. The entire

Out now in TiCS, a thing i've been thinking about a lot: "Physics vs. graphics as an organizing dichotomy in cognition" (by Balaban & me) relevant for many people, related to imagination, intuitive physics, mental simulation, aphantasia, and more authors.elsevier.com/a/1lBaC4sIRvW-…

We’ll be running a summer school in computational neuroscience at my university in #Ukraine! 🧠 The focus is on applying machine learning and AI to reverse-engineering the brain. #neuroAI #compneuro

Looking forward to speaking today at Harvard’s Kempner Institute at Harvard University NeuroAI conference on theories of learning, creativity and reasoning. Looks like a great set of speakers. Virtual attendance is possible: kempnerinstitute.harvard.edu/frontiers-in-n…

Im pleased to share our new work, “Spatio-temporal organization of network activity patterns in the hippocampus”, now out in Cell Reports! With Demi Brizee & David Dupret, we track how rhythms and spiking behavior map onto hippocampal layers. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker for #ISNeurotech25 Prof. Nancy Kanwisher from MIT Only one week left before application deadline... APPLY NOW: arabsinneuro.org/school/isn/

New study from the lab! Joshua Rozner (w/Leonie Weissweiler) shows that human-scale LMs still learn surprisingly sophisticated things about English syntax.

Very proud of Aaditya Singh for garnering an ICML Oral Award for this work, even while moving countries and starting a new job! The paper shows: When there are two different circuits to solve the same problem, the circuits can compete *and* cooperate at the same time. This

As part of our recent 25th anniversary celebration, our Director Bob Desimone reflected on some of our greatest accomplishments and described what we might expect to see from the McGovern Institute in the next decade. Watch his talk below 👇#TalkTuesday youtu.be/vpkcTL-YKPc?si…

Hi, academic friends. I am interested in getting on top of the literature on cognition (esp. thought disorder) in schizophrenia. Who are the top folks working in this space, either using cog-beh approaches or neural ones? Thank you!!

It is hard to convey just how hard Maitreyee has worked leading this project. Fantastic job and results! 👏👏👏

Our computer vision textbook is now available for free online here: visionbook.mit.edu We are working on adding some interactive components like search and (beta) integration with LLMs. Hope this is useful and feel free to submit Github issues to help us improve the text!

New and improved version of our recent preprint on how to build generalizable models & theories in cognitive science by (in part) drawing on lessons and tools from AI!
