On first read I thought this was a plumbing emergency

Shape features of white matter tracts associated with post-surgical speech production outcomes Impairments in speech production occur at a high rate after surgical resection of primary brain tumours. Due to their spatial heterogeneity, tumours c…

No Causal Role for Premotor Cortex in the Perception or Misperception of Degraded Speech: Evidence from Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Abstract. Although listeners can enhance perception by using prior knowledge to predict the content of degraded speech signals, this process can also elicit “misperceptions.” The neurobiological mecha...

Very happy to see @vtolkacheva.bsky.social's paper on the role of premotor cortex in perception and misperception of speech now open access in Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience: direct.mit.edu/jocn/article...

Relationships Between Subjective Iconicity Ratings and Phonological Variables in English and Spanish - Greig I. de Zubicaray, José A. Hinojosa, 2025 Iconicity (the extent to which word forms resemble their meanings) is proposed to be based on universally accessible form mappings that depict/express sensory i...

Very happy to see this paper wth José Antonio out now. Iconicity ratings in 2 languages and the phonological variables that predict them. #openaccess doi.org/10.1177/1747...

JML rejected all my papers too. Super proud of Valeriya for enduring multiple rounds of review with this one

Exploring the role of sublexical information in speech perception and misperception Listeners are able to use previously acquired knowledge to predict the content of upcoming speech when the latter signal is distorted or degraded. How…

Very happy to see @vtolkacheva.bsky.social's paper on the role of sublexical information in perception and misperception of speech now open access in Journal of Memory & Language: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @profkatie.bsky.social (7 experiments!!)

Your pet iguana is also completely out of proportion

So, it was worth the pane?

If you’re attending the ICONice workshop in Nice this week, please go and see Gustavo Estivalet’s talk on “Systematicity in the Phonology of French Words: From Lexical to Semantic Categories”

If you’re attending #AMLaP2025 in Prague, please go see Gustavo’s talk on form typically of French nouns and verbs! New work with @jarciuli.bsky.social

Incredibly proud of @vtolkacheva.bsky.social who has been awarded her PhD for her research on the neurobiology of speech perception and misperception!

Ratnado? I can see a movie franchise

Looking forward to this morning’s session on Language: Anatomy, Networks and Pathology! #OHBM2025

Yep. It’s “extremity of valence” btw, my bad.

I think you might be after “extremity of emotion” or “emotionality” that’s usually derived by subtracting the midpoint of the valence scale and removing the polarity. We used it in our papers on valence form typicality
