Ah, Fall - when we revel in the breathtaking majesty of all the shapes and colors of nature! Happy decorative gourd season to one and all! 🍁🍂🧠🎃

Early rejection experience of ⁦@davidpoeppel⁩ and ⁦@GregoryHickok⁩. David says if you believe your ideas are right but challenge the field, don’t be discouraged but keep persisting. Some of the most influential work faced negative reception. ⁦@SNLmtg⁩ #SNL2025

Excited to share our new paper! This one has been a long time coming. I think I need a nap. 😮‍💨 nature.com/articles/s4146…

🎉So excited to share my first-author paper that's now available in Brain Structure and Function! So grateful to my amazing advisor @NeuroTyler, co-author @jayoung_choi, and everyone at @buslhs. Please reach out if you can't access the full-text! 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@langofmind Radiological convention.

Wow, this upsets me viscerally

@WilmaBainbridge Congrats, Wilma! Your work is so interesting - Chicago is lucky to have you!

I got tenure!!!!!!!!

@langofmind My guess is that context effects will be much stronger in letter judgments - most of the linguistic mapping in text, and therefore maybe even letter category assignment, probably happens at the level of bigrams. See the ambrigram example "THE CAT" for a compelling illustration.

@NeuroTyler But I'm mainly interested in the idea that we access phoneme representations when we read letter forms, so insofar as we see CP effects to auditory continua, we should see similar effects for visual continua, right?

Has anybody done a categorical perception task with visual letter forms? That is, by constructing a continuum of letter forms, say from <t> to <d>, to see if you get an S-shaped caetgorization curve?

@langofmind Interesting! link.springer.com/article/10.100… (but unsure about alphabetic letters).

In @eLife: Against cortical reorganisation doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Tamar Makin @plasticity_lab & I argue that one area of the brain cannot take over for another as claimed by remapping studies. Instead brain largely fixed in its capacities but some latent & can be up-regulated.

I'm bewildered by predatory journals that email you using the title of one of your own papers as the subject line... it's like being bombarded by the squawking of some sort of deranged science parrot. 🦜
