🎖️A huge congratulations to Emery N. Brown on receiving the National Medal of Science today! It’s the nation’s highest honor for scientists and engineers. Very well deserved! picower.mit.edu/news/emery-n-b… #neuroscience #statistics #anesthesiology MIT Science MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT IMES

I'm pleased to announce the successful thesis defense of Dr. Vin Agarwal! His thesis compiles an impressive body of work on auditory intuitive physics. Stay tuned for some great papers. It has been a pleasure working with him.

Are you Interested in: - the role of oscillations in visual and auditory processing? - blending computational and experimental neuroscience? - research with clinical implications? If yes, then maybe you'd like a postdoc with us. DM/email me for more details. RTs appreciated

Someone might consider reminding Texas senators and congresspersons how much money the MD Anderson Cancer Center got from the NIH last year, and that their overhead rate is 62%. MD Anderson Cancer Center

NIH funding supported : *** 412,041 jobs *** *** $92.89 billion in new economic activity*** *** $2.46 for every NIH $1 spent.*** We are a $100B industry. Let's act like it ! How about, at a bare minimum, we all just call our congressional reps??

Please to announce the successful thesis defense of Dr. Jarrod Hicks! His thesis provides the first thorough exploration of auditory scene analysis with environmental sounds. I’m excited to see what he does next.

I can't believe they've just cancelled the Epidemic Intelligence Service program at CDC. My father was an EIS officer: epimonitor.net/PrintVersion/N… Farzad Mostashari's thread below gives you a sense of the kind of people in this elite program to train the best & brightest epidemiologists.

If at ARO today, check out Lakshmi Govindarajan's poster on "Confidence in Sound Localization Reflects Calibrated Uncertainty Estimation". Number S147 if you are at the meeting.

Two more posters from our lab are being presented today at ARO: M133 - “Neural Network Models of Hearing Clarify Factors Limiting Cochlear Implant Outcomes” by Annesya Banerjee et al. M166 - “Preferences for Loudness and Pitch Vary Across Cultures” by Malinda McPherson et al.

If you are here at the last day of ARO, don’t miss Sagarika Alavilli’s talk on “Measuring and Modeling Multi-Source Environmental Sound Recognition”, happening at 9:45 in Ocean Ballroom 9 - 12.

Meet Ajani Stewart, a graduate student in the lab of Josh McDermott studying how people hear and interpret sound. They use a speaker array (you can see it behind him - he helped build this!) to explore our brain's remarkable ability to localize and recognize sounds in the

Congratulations to Linlin Fan on being named a Searle Scholar! Fan plans to study how serotonin might influence plasticity in memory, and whether psychedelics affect that. picower.mit.edu/news/searle-sc… #neuroscience #serotonin #memory @mitscience MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

If you are attending the Kempner symposium I encourage you to check out a poster by Gasser Elbanna on models and benchmarks of continuous speech perception. He has many interesting 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!
