The Causality in Cognition Lab -- a supportive, bluesky-colored team -- is looking for a predoc to join us! Here are infos about the lab (cicl.stanford.edu) and the position (careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/iriss-p...). The application deadline is May 1st.

Please share, thank you 🙏

Our novel measure:
❗Overcomes the constraints of traditional static measurements
❗Can be effectively integrated with neuroimaging techniques like EEG and MEG, offering a tool for research on dynamic processes during naturalistic listening 🗣️🧠

➡️ A TRF model fit to the slider time course revealed individual differences in response delays, showing that the slider can be used to model individual trajectories of comprehension.

Laura Gwilliams (left), Jill Kries (second from left) and other members of the Gwilliams lab discuss the neuroscience of language. In the lab's latest paper, Kries, Gwilliams, and KU Leuven's Maaike Vandermosten investigated the underlying mechanisms of post-stroke aphasia. Image by Jess Alvarenga.

In stroke patients with aphasia, the brain spends too little time processing ambiguous sounds, suggesting new targets for precision therapies. (@lauragwilliams.bsky.social, @kriesjill.bsky.social)

1/7 Can infants recognise the world around them? 👶🧠 As part of the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published today in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.

FNR Awards 2025: Outstanding PhD Thesis - Jill Kries YouTube video by FNRLux

I am so honored to have received an Outstanding PhD Thesis award from the Luxembourg National Research Fund @fnr.lu! 🏆

My PhD research was about how language is processed in the brain, with a focus on patients with a language disorder called aphasia 🧠 Find out more➡️ youtu.be/E-Zww-B1jFQ?...

New BBS article w/ @lauragwilliams.bsky.social and Hinze Hogendoorn, just accepted! We respond to a thought-provoking article by @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social, and argue that it's premature to conclude that conscious perception is delayed by 350-450ms: bit.ly/4nYNTlb

Neural tracking of natural speech: an effective marker for post-stroke aphasia The study examined brain responses to natural speech, i.e. neural tracking, in post-stroke aphasia. Individuals with aphasia exhibited reduced neural track

🗣️ How strongly speech amplitude fluctuations are encoded in brain activity of people with aphasia holds promise as biomarker! 🧠
