🚨Published an extended version of "Can we utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate useful linguistic corpora? A case study of the word frequency effect in young German readers"🚨 including a new study and a word frequency effect size investigation.

Kinda sad these kinds of dark anti-intellectual patterns in publishing from Google and other companies aren't discussed really as much as they should be given how much the apparent successful research is lauded. Impossible things are always possible if you fudge the results.

Tomorrow, I will give a talk in the Language Circle Lecture Series. Thanks to Lars Meyer (@LanguageCycles) for the invitation.

@mariella_n_paul Trying to reach you, but unfortunately cannot. Could you contact me, Xenia Schmalz, or @JanaHasenacker ? Thanks.

Excited to have been part of the #QuaSemo2024 team! Wonderful week in Munich, with amazing talks and a wonderful crowd of word nerds!

It was an amazing experience giving a keynote talk at QuaSemO 2024! Also had great conversations with other scientists about word processing theories, anglo-centricity, and the importance of looking at understudied languages. 🔡🧠

@davidpoeppel @ESI_Frankfurt Oh no, a big loss. All the best overseas!

I'm leaving @ESI_Frankfurt. I’ll miss the huge group of kind smart hardworking 95% who make it so promising. But relieved to leave the handful of people whose behavior does not meet minimal standards of morality. In admin & senior science, a few truly *appalling* people. 🧵 soon.

🚨New Preprint!🚨 Our latest study reveals neurobiological contributions to both static and dynamic functional connectivity (FC) using computational brain modeling. Learn how specific regions shape sFC and dFC patterns! 🧠📊 Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join our #DGPs2024 Symposium on "Exploring the (Neuro)-Cognitive Processes of German Readers" today. Should be fun!

Join us in Marseille to hear and talk about developmental MRI in human and non-human primates! 🧠 Fantastic speaker lineup: @HuppiPetra, Pier Francesco Ferrari, @YannickBecker7, @olivecoulon, @AuziasGuillaume & @olgakepinska. Looking forward to it! 🤓

Super important and super cool!

@BouhaliFlorence @FumikoHoeft @neuroKevin Impressive, cool stuff!

Sulcal interruptions in the left posterior OTS in kindergarten longitudinally predict reading skills at age 8, more so than benchmark behavioral and familial predictors of reading! New preprint with Jessica Dubois, @FumikoHoeft and @neuroKevin. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
