Our work on models of the auditory cortex is hereby published in @PLOSBiology! The paper presents an extensive analysis of audio neural networks as models of auditory processing in the brain. Paper: tinyurl.com/mw2e59ud w/ @jenellefeather (co-1st) @dlboebinger @JoshHMcDermott

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining #GeorgiaTech as an Assistant Professor starting Jan 1, 2024! I'm actively recruiting members to join the lab. So please spread the word! The lab website also goes live today. murtylab.com

The final paperwork is still pending, but it’s time to spread the word, so here goes--- I am starting as an Assistant Professor in Psychology at Georgia Tech! thread ⬇️ language-intelligence-thought.net

Does human auditory cortex process the singing voice as more than sung speech, and if so, why? A new paper by Ilana Harris, Efe Niven, @aegriffcogneuro and me - read it here nature.com/articles/s4158…


6 yrs ago @Nancy_Kanwisher @SamNormanH & I decided to study early cortical responses to music & speech. I am excited to announce that our paper, “Preliminary evidence for selective cortical responses to music in one-month-old infants” has been published! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…



In the last year, more than 10 universities/student groups/orgs have invited me to talk about science communication, journalism, and scientific careers outside academia. It has been such a privilege. If you want me to come talk, I'm booking my schedule for summer and fall now!

We are thrilled to announce that the ComSciCon 2023 Flagship Workshop will be held July 19-22, 2023 at Emerson College in Boston, MA! Apply by March 19 for an all expenses paid opportunity to meet experts and leaders in #SciComm and hone your skills: tinyurl.com/p8y69w9w


I am looking for a post-bac RA to help with our growing InterestingBrains project on brain function in atypical brains (including perinatal stroke, cysts, resection, etc.). Apply here: careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie…

New opening for a full-time lab tech in the Kanwisher Lab; apply here: careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie… Very strong math and computer skills and a serious interest in the human brain required. This position is an ideal stepping stone toward to graduate programs in cognitive neuroscience.


Excited to present a comprehensive analysis on the extent to which deep neural network (DNNs) can account for brain responses in the human auditory cortex! Work with @jenellefeather (co-1st) @dlboebinger @JoshHMcDermott biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Remember the thread (below, for reference) on a woman (EG) who grew up without her left temporal lobe? After @GretaTuckute's work on EG got covered by @WIRED, a few others reached out. One of them, the amazing @helenwsantoro, is sharing her story in NYT: nytimes.com/2022/09/04/sci…

Amazing plenary lecture by @maddie_sofia at @ComSciCon. 👏🏽Maddie share her personal story and passion for inclusive #scicomm. There were laughs, tears, and sharing incredible stories ✨ Check out this thread to read/listen to the stories Maddie shared! 🧵👇🏽 #comscicon2022

Aaaaand Day 3 is over! We are sad that #ComSciCon22 is coming to an end, but so excited about the connections it created! Thank you to all of our #ComSciCon attendees, guests, speakers, and organizers!
