How to revise: As an editor and author I have seen many revised papers return to journals. Given effort, most go well (ie step toward acceptance). Some go pear-shaped. I’ve slowly improved and have an approach known by my group as the ‘Breakspear method”. Here is its essence

My dissertation work with Stephen Wilson -- in which we show the importance of lesion *location* in predicting recovery from aphasia after stroke -- is finally out! Please check out the paper (plus its aphasia-friendly version!) at the link below: academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Why small mindedness is having big consequences Brain I live under its shadow. I suspect most of you do too. It is the great mountain of small things. The higher it gets, the bigger the shadow it casts: a malignant darkness that pervades our lives. academic.oup.com/brain/article/…

Modality-Specificity of the Neural Correlates of Linguistic and Non-Linguistic Demand | doi.org/10.1162/nol_a_… | by Mackenzie Philips, Sarah Schneck, Deborah Levy & Stephen Wilson

Levy et al. use #machinelearning to predict language across the first year of recovery from aphasia post-#stroke, explaining nearly 2/3 of the variance in outcomes. Deborah Levy Sarah Schneck Marianne Casilio Stephen Wilson Anna Kasdan shorturl.at/aBK27

A review in Nature, by @candice_odgers, asserts that I have mistaken correlation for causation and that “there is no evidence that using these platforms is rewiring children’s brains or driving an epidemic of mental illness.” Both of these assertions are untrue.

I'm thrilled to share Episode 29 of the Language Neuroscience Podcast: a great conversation with Dorothy Bishop Dorothy Bishop about developmental language disorders, meta-science, and more! langneurosci.org/podcast/ep29

Brisbane from the ferry (Friday night date night)... Hope I can share it with lots of work friends later this year! SNL Annual Meeting John Nigroᵍᵐ

My wonderful colleague!

Check out our big review of #transcriptionless methods for analyzing #discourse in #aphasia! FOQUSAphasia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

For those that are curious - two big announcements regarding SNL Annual Meeting 2024 in Brisbane: Keynote Lectures and Symposia are now posted Abstract submission deadline extended to June 10

I'm glad to share Language Neuroscience Podcast #30. I talk with Maaike Vandermosten Maaike Vandermosten about the neural basis of developmental dyslexia, and neuroplasticity in recovery from aphasia (especially her very cool new preprint on this topic!). langneurosci.org/podcast/ep30

On the Language Neuroscience Podcast #31, I talk with Masud Husain, EIC Brain about his editorial "A mountain of small things". Is the mountain of small things a bigger threat to science than the reproducibility crisis? Listen and see what you think! langneurosci.org/podcast/ep31

Such an important episode and discussion about Masud Husain’s Brain editorial about the administrative mountain that is swallowing science, thank you Stephen Wilson! Listened to this on my first #SNL2024 morning run Brisbane, see you all soon SNL Annual Meeting!!

Thanks Stephen Wilson for asking me to speak on how bureaucracy is stifling research by creating an ever growing ‘Mountain of small things’ academic.oup.com/brain/article/… langneurosci.org/podcast/

First day of SNL Annual Meeting in Brisbane! 🇦🇺 Come visit SNL's open access, nonprofit journal at our booth in the mezzanine hall. Our editorial team is there to answer your questions about publishing, peer review, etc. Don't forget to grab a squeezy brain while you're at it!

A great piece of writing and equally great listen. Also, I would pay to listen to Masud Husain narrate pretty much anything. What a soothing voice!

People who do clinical trials and don't report on the pre specified outcome measure should never be given funding again, and their papers should be rejected. No exceptions. This is a policy that I implement as a reviewer!

Language Neuroscience Podcast Episode 32: What’s going on with the NIH? with Julius Fridriksson Julius Fridriksson langneurosci.org/podcast/

I'm pleased to share Episode 33 of the Language Neuroscience Podcast: ‘Can the mismatch negativity really be elicited by abstract linguistic contrasts?’ with Steve Politzer-Ahles and Bernard Jap. Very fun conversation. langneurosci.org/podcast/ep33
