This is happening this afternoon, definitely go check it out if you are still at SfN

If you're going to #SfN2025, don't miss out on Amanda Chirino's poster on semantic deficits in cerebellar degeneration participants. I am super proud of this project and Amanda Chirino has been doing great work on it! 📍Poster #: F3 🗓️ Date/Time: Wednesday 1PM

I’m hiring! We have an opening in my lab at UC Berkeley for a Staff Research Associate 2. This person will collect and analyze data, work with patients and families, act as point of contact btwn collaborators, maintain lab organization, + more. careerspub.universityofcalifornia.edu/psp/ucb/EMPL...

As our lab started to build encoding 🧠 models, we were trying to figure out best practices in the field. So @neurotaha.bsky.social built a library to easily compare design choices & model features across datasets! We hope it will be useful to the community & plan to keep expanding it! 1/

New paper! 🧠 **The cerebellar components of the human language network** with: @hsmall.bsky.social @moshepoliak.bsky.social @gretatuckute.bsky.social @benlipkin.bsky.social @awolna.bsky.social @aniladmello.bsky.social and @evfedorenko.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n 🧵

Join us in supporting NIH and NSF in local papers across the country!

I also want to one point of this paper, the effect the exclusion of cerebellum in research is having on cerebellar patients. Many struggle to find diagnoses or answers from physicians because there is such limited research. A real potential area for improving health outcomes with basic research.

Working on this paper with @aniladmello.bsky.social and @0xwbj.bsky.social was a delight. I feel like anyone who knows me (or probably any cerebellar researcher) has heard this spiel, but hopefully this helps the community take it more seriously!

📣📣📣 Come join a really exciting project on cerebellar development! 📣📣📣 For the Cerebellar Growth Chart project, we still have one postdoctoral position open. Apply by March 5th: www.diedrichsenlab.org/open_postdoc...

Love this piece about our brain decoding work (and Rafa Yuste's tireless advocacy for neurorights) that Fletcher Reveley wrote for Undark: undark.org/2024/01/03/b...

Hi all prospective grad students! Our Equal Access to Application Assistance (EAAA) program for @Berkeley_EECS is now accepting applications! Any PhD applicant to @Berkeley_EECS can submit their application for feedback by Oct 8 2023: forms.gle/dHq2EPGrkkdc...

I am super excited to share my new review paper cowritten with the great Anila D'Mello where we cover all the recent work on the potential role of the cerebellum in language processing (hint think semantics) authors.elsevier.com/c/1hlpH8MqMi... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Our new language fMRI dataset is now published in Scientific Data! And not only that it now includes nearly double the amount of data as the preprint version with up to 15 hours of fMRI per participant! Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

New open rank job posting at Berkeley psychology - come join the Cognition area! aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04035 (Note the quick deadline: Sept 20)

Super interesting paper comparing semantic representations of speech production to speech comprehension. I see this becoming a more popular trend in language neuroscience
