Never ask postdocs what they'll be doing next year, that's considered terribly offensive in their culture.

Excited to share new preprint! This is one of my most important PhD projects w/ @juliedgolomb.bsky.social. We explored the integrated nature of 3D visual perception - how individual spatial features are jointly represented & how they converge into coherent 3D representations in human brain?

🎉 New paper out today! We used virtual avatars and EEG to show that listeners use meaningful gestures to predict what someone might say next 🧠👋 Read it here in Psychological Science 👉 doi.org/10.1177/0956..., with @lindadrijvers.bsky.social and @judithholler.bsky.social

When listening to a story, earlier parts of the story (context) and the speaker's gestures help us predict and understand what they are saying. In a new preprint we show context and gestures have a push-pull synergy on neural response to linguistic information 👇🧵
