🧠 Brain Fact #2 Many neuroscience theories suggest the brain constantly predicts incoming sensory information and updates its predictions if they turn out wrong. Computational models help understand how these predictions arise in neural circuits 🔮 #BrainAwarenessWeek #BernsteinNetwork #CompNeuro

🧠 Brain Fact #1 Did you know? The human brain uses only about 20 watts of power — while performing computations that still challenge today’s supercomputers 💡 For #BrainAwarenessWeek, we're sharing insights from #CompNeuro research across the #BernsteinNetwork. What are your favorite brain facts?

Can GPT replace human raters of metaphors? Our new work with @vmangiaterra.bsky.social @cbarattieri.bsky.social @al-azary.bsky.social Across 687 Italian & English metaphors, GPT shows strong validity & reliability, but stumbles when meaning becomes sensorimotor ➡️ arxiv.org/abs/2512.12444 #NEPLab

Delighted to share that I’m starting a new role as Jr Assistant Professor (RTDa) at IUSS within the #DIALOG project funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social–as part of @valentinabambini.bsky.social's unit🎉 No better way to celebrate than with Italian pastries & the amazing support of the #NEPLab team🍰🤍

Incredible workshop, community, and organisation. Special thanks to all trainEErs and trainEErs' assistants from the @fieldtriptoolbox.bsky.social track for their effort in all hands-on sessions, and to the organisers for the care they put into the event. It's been very inspiring

Please repost! I am looking for a PhD candidate in the area of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience to start in early 2026. The position is funded as part of the Excellence Cluster "The Adaptive Mind" at @jlugiessen.bsky.social. Please apply here until Nov 25: www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...

#PracticalMEEG2025 is coming up soon |Oct 28–30| and we’re full! But good news: lectures will be accessible online for FREE! Join the Toolbox Bouquet on Oct. 30th to explore the latest cutting-edge toolboxes in M/EEG analysis. 💐Free but mandatory registration 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Super interesting people and research at my first #SIPF2025. Will come back for more!

So glad to have attended my first #SNL conference and presented a poster with @riccardoventurini.bsky.social, showing beta functional connectivity alterations linked to pragmatic impairment in schizophrenia. Great time here in Washington and inspiring talks at Gallaudet University 🧠 #NEPLab #SNL2025

And with today, our experience at #SNL2025 at @gallaudetpress.bsky.social comes to an end. Exciting three days learning state-of-the-art research in neurobiology of Language with #NEPLab's own @federicofrau.bsky.social

Spectacular talk by SNL Early Career Award winner Esti Blanco Elorrieta! Much NeLLab pride, congratulations Esti! 🎉🎉 #SNL2025 @snlmtg.bsky.social

Next Monday, the #IUSSLinguisticsSeminar will host Dr. Nadine Dijkstra, who will introduce us to the neural correlates of mental imagery, with a focus on the mechanisms allowing us to discern a mental image from a real visual percept. 🗓️June 16, 11-12.30am CEST Zoom link: tinyurl.com/keap95ks #NEPLab

Join us for an enlightening seminar on Language development and autism with Mikhail Kissine from Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Date: May 12, 2025 Time: 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm CEST 💻 Attend online via Zoom: iusspavia.zoom.us/my/br.salade... #NEPLab @valentinabambini.bsky.social

The Laboratory of Neurolinguistics and Experimental Pragmatics meets the father of Experimental Pragmatics! @irastamon.bsky.social thanks for the visit! #NEPLab

At #EWCN I presented my poster. Preliminary results from 2 #fMRI experiments (2nd ongoing) suggest scene clutter may influences size & animacy along the ventral stream—with animacy staying robust after mid-level controls. Feedback welcome! #VisionNeuroscience #CognitiveNeuroscience #VisionScience

Evviva!

Interessante approfondimento su una delle mode gastronomiche più incredibili che i social abbiano creato.

Una notizia orrenda. Cecilia Sala è stata arrestata in Iran www.ilpost.it/2024/12/27/c...
