Early bird registration for the Austrian Society for Psychology (Salzburg, April 9-11th) is coming up! Don’t miss our symposium on ‘Language processing: A high-level skill with limitations’ More info: www.oegps.at/aktuelletagung
In Sep I gave a talk on Computational insights into the brain and language at the ima.or.at/en/projekt/r... symposium on the origins of AI, hosted by IMA (The Institute for Media Archeology) in St. Pölten (Austria, video available here: lnkd.in/d-vSpAhD
📰 new paper! lnkd.in/dYdrvZAz, by @irenebalboni.bsky.social , Alessandra Rampinini, @olgakepinska.bsky.social, @berthele.bsky.social, @nargolestani.bsky.social, @nccrlanguage.bsky.social showing the importance of multimodal approaches for uncovering brain-behaviour relationships
We are very grateful to our speakers, @berthele.bsky.social, @irenebalboni.bsky.social, @zhanminye.bsky.social, Sara Mascheretti and Tecumseh Fitch, who gave insightful and stimulating talks on bilingualism and literacy through complementary behavioral, neural, genetic, and comparative lenses.
@nargolestani.bsky.social and @vborghesani.bsky.social co-chaired the symposium on ‘The bi-literate brain: behavioural, neural, and genetic insights into recent evolutionary adaptations’ at #ISB15 in Donostia-San Sebastián last week, supported by @nccrlanguage.bsky.social.
Congratulations, Christos!!
Are you designing your syllabus? Preparing a teaching statement for the job market? Or do you want to discuss what is missing in teaching materials and manuals?
Join @irenebalboni.bsky.social and @vborghesani.bsky.social to talk about teaching Neurobiology of language👇
thank you!

annual lab retreat in Vienna last week, it was such a pleasure to (almost) all be in one place for a change!
Very excited to share our paper 📃 on bilingualism, episodic memory and brain anatomy 🧠, in which we offer a novel, mechanistic explanation accounting for differences observed behaviourally and in the brain across the domains of memory and of executive control: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Registration is now open for the virtual TEAM Conference on Language Acquisition and Multilingualism on 16 Jan, 2025! www.team-up.lu.se/team-confere...

The first paper with data from our WP Aptitude is out!
▫️34 linguistic, cognitive, domain-specific variables
▫️Relationship explored using Exploratory graph analysis
Not exactly a short read but we hope you'll enjoy it!
