Honored to have such nice endorsements from Cathy Price and @sapinker for my forthcoming book, Wired for Words. mitpress.mit.edu/9780262553414/…
How do different languages converge on a shared neural substrate for conceptual meaning? We’re excited to share our latest preprint that specifically addresses this question, led by @zaidzada_
Happy to have concluded another iteration of our 5-day open LLMs course, together with @ZakASHussain. If you are interested in LLMs for behavioral and social sciences, check out our... Tutorial: doi.org/10.3758/s13428… Open materials: github.com/zak-Hussain/LL…
Thrilled to share our #Interspeech2025 paper: “A Silent Speech Decoding System from EEG & EMG with Heterogeneous Electrode Configurations.” We show, for the first time, that models trained on healthy data can be fine-tuned to decode the attempted speech of a totally paralyzed man
Our brain-to-voice synthesis brain-computer interface paper was published in @Nature today! This neuroprosthesis synthesized the voice of a man with ALS instantaneously, enabling him to ‘speak’ flexibly and modulate the prosody of his BCI-voice. 1/7 Paper: rdcu.be/eqH3C
🧠🗞️🗣️Finally out! Paper with a way-too-long name for social media. How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in @CommsPsychol
This Comment from Gary Charness and colleagues discusses how various LLM tools can support different stages of the experimental research process. nature.com/articles/s4156…
New brain/language study w/ @ev_fedorenko! We applied task-agnostic individualized functional connectomics (iFC) to the entire history of fMRI in the Fedorenko lab, parcellating nearly 1200 brains into networks based on activity fluctuations alone. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… . 🧵

In natural conversations, people can stop speaking at any time. How? Using high-density electrocorticography, Zhao et al. find a distinct neural signal in the human premotor cortex that inhibits speech output to achieve abrupt stopping. @ChangLabUcsf nature.com/articles/s4156…

Sequence chunking through neural encoding of ordinal positions Review by Nai Ding tinyurl.com/2s4dd6an
Thrilled that our design becomes the NHB feb cover image! !! Folding fan = 1D-2D memory reorganization. Idea by Huan Luo, Calligraphy by Nai Ding. Poem by QuYuan (300bc) (question about the universe).

Thrilled to share our new paper with @candrew123 & @davidpoeppel 🧠🎵 Amazing work by Andrew, who led this study uncovering how the brain encodes pitch—first linearly, then transforming into a helix-like structure! 🔄🎶 Check it out: #MusicNeuroscience #AuditoryCognition

I just asked OpenAI Deep Research to analyze some fresh & highly complex unpublished experimental data that we couldn’t decipher, related to an immune cell. When I read its report, I was absolutely stunned!😳 It solved the issue in the most profound way possible🤯Speechless🥹
