🎉New Paper Alert!🎉 Really excited that this collaboration is finally out! It shows that combining oscillatory dynamics with hierarchical predictive frameworks generates speech perception that is robust to temporal distortions: similarly to human behavior and more so than current ASR models.

Proud to co-organize the NeuroDecoder workshop at the Hearing Institute on September 18-19. We will discuss advanced methods for neural decoding of speech and auditory signals with some brilliant speakers. Info here: dim-cbrains.fr/en/news/news...

The Pasteur Institute opens its Doctoral Program app. There are 5 projects focused on Hearing and my team is involved two of them! 1) neural oscillatory dynamics in temporal processing of speech 2) Algorithms for speech intelligibility in cochlear implants DM me if interested! www.pasteur.fr/ppu

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Jim Hudspeth passed away on Saturday. We will remember and continue to be inspired by Jim’s integrity, his humility, and his unwavering commitment to discovery.

@scone-neuro.bsky.social has a great review coming soon led by @annekeitel.bsky.social. We summarize major oscillatory mechanisms and discuss open questions across a range of subfields in cog neuro. The preprint should be out soon.

/1 We took our sweet time (~3yrs) to put this into its final shape - but happy to say that the pre-print of an extensive review of brain rhythms in cognition - from a cognruro perspective - is now available. Please let us know what you think. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Congratulations to Brice Bathellier, (Institut Pasteur and @cnrs.fr) head of the “Auditory System Dynamics & Multisensory Perception” team at the Hearing Institute, for securing the ERC Proof of Concept 2025 for his project BRAINCODER! 👏 @bathellierlab.bsky.social #Neuroscience

New preprint from our team! People with tinnitus often complain about attention difficulties so we made them perform several tasks (n=200). After correcting for comorbidities, no deficits in selective attention or executive functions could be observed but they exhibited poorer control of arousal.

💡 Check our new preprint (by @sophiebouton.bsky.social, w/ with @valerian-chambon.bsky.social @nargolestani.bsky.social). We organize modeling approaches based along two axes (covariance and temporal dependencies), which shapes how they align with specific scientific goals in language neuroscience.

No poster photo this time, but @fens.org Regional Meeting in Oslo was great! #FRM2025 Thank you @exppsychsoc.bsky.social for supporting me with a travel grant!

👏 Félicitations à Anne-Lise Giraud, Directrice de l'Institut de l'Audition – IHU reConnect, médaille d'argent du CNRS 2025 ! Une reconnaissance bien méritée pour ses travaux en neurosciences cognitives sur l'audition et le langage. @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social ↘️ www.insb.cnrs.fr/fr/personne/...

Very happy to share a new preprint, written with people I have learned a lot from: Paola Cerrito, Carel van Schaik, Judith Burkart, Anne-Lise Giraud (@neurospeech.bsky.social), Daphne Baverlier, @balthasarbickel.bsky.social: how the communication system of neanderthals may have differed from ours 🧪🧵

"mood, sleep, neuroticism, and hearing emerged as key modifiable factors influencing how tinnitus is experienced, offering actionable targets for clinical intervention." From: www.news-medical.net/news/2025050... #tinnitus #keeplistening

Our new @NatureComms paper: We used UK Biobank data (n≈193K) to build ML models predicting tinnitus presence (driven by hearing health) and severity (influenced by mood, neuroticism & sleep). A simple 6-item POST questionnaire forecasts 9-yr outcomes. shorturl.at/4AF4P

Check out the new publication in @natcomms.nature.com by L. Hobeika & S. Samson (coll. w/ @evp82.bsky.social). ML models trained on a large database reveal the risk factors for tinnitus presence and severity, and helped to design a 6-item questionnaire to predict clinical outcomes. #tinnitus

🧠 Environ 7% des écoliers français sont touchés par la dyslexie, trouble du neurodéveloppement qui affecte la lecture. Ludovica Veggiotti, neuropsychologue, revient sur l’étude clinique RnDys menée dans notre équipe.

Contributing however we can, even if it means posing for a photo 😁😁

🔍🧠 Words don’t just have meaning – they feel different in your brain! Our new study shows that even in quick word tasks, sensory meanings light up: Seeing “white” in our mind is faster than feeling “warm”. But why do some senses dominate while others lag behind? Find out more in our new study👇🏼
