New in Psychological Science! We've been studying visual non-conscious prioritization processes for decades, but not a lot is known about non-conscious speech processing. Does it conform to the same principles, despite the very different way it functions? #consciousness #psychscisky #PsychSky

An extraordinary experience!! Huge thanks to all mentors and organizers.

First paper is now out in Cortex! We find behavioral and neural evidence for non-conscious speech processing, using a new dual-task paradigm that creates repetitive occurrences of in attentional deafness without masking or degrading stimuli. @deouell.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

1/3) This may be a very important paper, it suggests that there are no prediction error encoding neurons in sensory areas of cortex: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... I personally am a big fan of the idea that cortical regions (allo and neo) are doing sequence prediction. But... 🧠📈 🧪

When we listen to speech, we do it while constantly predicting upcoming contents. Is this prediction associated with the subjective experience of engaged, conscious listening? What happens when we fail to listen? Come take a look at my poster (P116) tomorrow at @assc28.bsky.social 16:30
