Language areas in the cerebellar mapped by @coltoncasto.bsky.social: www.thetransmitter.org/language/cer... Very consistent with @carobellum.bsky.social functional atlas, but providing deeper details. By now the "terra incognita" of the cerebellum isn't so "incognita" anymore!

You know you've really screwed up your Reactionary Free Speech University™ when Pinker's all, "whoa you guys are nuts"

Proposal: two peer reviews of a manuscript is almost always enough. As reviewer: I'm sick of reluctantly agreeing to review a paper only to find out later I'm one of FOUR reviewers. This is a massive waste of resources at a time when it gets harder and harder to get people to agree to review.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

New paper! In collaboration with a team in Australia, we demonstrate how beta oscillations in left prefrontal EEG reflect statistical learning of speech in children:

I don't understand why Garfield hates Mondays. To the best of my reckoning he has never been held accountable for anything, on any day of the week.

Do American researchers have to explain why they only recruited American participants or is that special feedback that editors/reviewers reserve for Canadian researchers? Also, I'm getting pretty sick of having to explain why it's good to have data specific to my own country.

I keep seeing people post that Canadian universities should scoop up all the American academics who are losing their research funding. I’m guessing these people have no idea what’s going on in Canadian universities after decades of deliberate underfunding.
