ESLP 2026 call for abstracts is open! 🧠 Can LLMs challenge embodied language processing? Join us in Lancaster (29-31 July) to explore abstraction, grounding & AI. Keynotes: Evelina Fedorenko (MIT), Sotaro Kita (Warwick), Marianna Bolognesi (Bologna) Deadline: 3 May eslp2026.sciencesconf.org

Why do we talk to ourselves in our heads? New paper: it's how your brain handles uncertainty - turning sensations into words ("Mona Lisa") and vague goals into steps ("Exercise!"). Gets more noticeable when stressed, fades away when problems are solved. doi.org/10.1037/rev0...

🚀 Job alert for ML researchers who love "impossible" problems: Detect inner speech from EEG signals. No labels. Lots of noise. Standard methods failed. We will invent something new. Deadline: Jan 4, 2026 hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx... #DeepLearning #Neuroscience #AIResearch

New paper @cognitionjournal.bsky.social! 🔎 We investigated how readers process word beginnings using a novel gaze-contingent magnification technique. Magnifying peripheral text helped readers identify word-initial letters, but mainly for unpredictable or difficult words. #ReadingResearch
