Human auditory cortex integrates information in speech across absolute time (e.g., 200 ms), not phonemes, syllables, words, or any other time-varying speech structure: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Big news, and more to come, from our lab. www.linkedin.com/posts/centre...

Variance partitioning is used to quantify the overlap of two models. Over the years, I have found that this can be a very confusing and misleading concept. So we finally we decided to write a short blog to explain why. @martinhebart.bsky.social @gallantlab.org diedrichsenlab.org/BrainDataSci...

📢 New publication alert! 📢 👂Ever struggled to understand natural speech in a noisy environment? 🤔 Our new research shows that moving rhythmically can actually help you hear better! royalsocietypublishing.org/eprint/ZWRPM... with: @strijkers.bsky.social & Noémie teRietmolen 🧵👇

New paper! 🚨 authors.elsevier.com/c/1kqF72VHYF... "Corollary discharge signals during production are domain general: an intracerebral EEG case study with a professional musician." 🧵👇

POST-DOC CALL! 2-year post-doctoral position to work in Marseille on any topic in the field of language, communication and the brain. Deadline May, 20, 2025 www.ilcb.fr/ilcb-postdoc...

🧠 In our new article, Martin Meyer & I argue that the lateralization of spoken language is enhanced by top-down processes—such as predictive coding and dimension-selective auditory attention—which engage left-lateralized sensorimotor networks. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am looking for a PhD student to work on my ERC-funded project to investigate the format of thought in the absence of language in baboons and bees. Details here: tinyurl.com/5ff9hcjj Apply here: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

We are hiring! Come work in sunny Marseille! NeuroSchool PhD contracts in neuroscience are available at Aix Marseille University, France: I submitted one project (#11) for the call for international PhDs: "Investigating Music Listening in Human and Non-Human Primates."

Two new studies from our team we're particularly happy about: Study 1: ai.meta.com/research/pub... Study 2: ai.meta.com/research/pub... Blog 3: ai.meta.com/blog/brain-a...

Happy to have this published …https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr6698

A new paper out! I never thought I would publish in Nature Biology but common misconceptions of #speech #rhythm urged me to. Comments on the commentary welcome! rdcu.be/d669j

Looking forward to the Rhythm Perception and Production workshop next June in Jyväskylä, Finland!! Abstract submissions close 24th Jan - link here: www.rppw.org/rppw20.html

Merry Xmas to all my co-authors! Excited to share our work in Science Advances: "The human auditory cortex concurrently tracks syllabic and phonemic timescales via acoustic spectral flux." www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Very happy for my first BlueSky post to highlight our preprint! It's a great collab w @bnmorillon.bsky.social, @luc-arnal.bsky.social, Mathieu Pham Van Cang, Paul Robert. An RNN to make parallel predictions in polyphonic music shows parallelization is key for neural encoding of musical predictions.
