Ok, development and ethics peeps, I have a testing dilemma for you: A kid comes to the lab to take part in a neuroimaging study (EEG, MRI, cognition) with their mom. Consent is signed (only 1 legal guardian signature is required by ethics). The parents are divorced, the dad freaks out and (1)

C'est assez hallucinant de voir un communiqué signé par 5 sociétés médicales qui soit à ce point bourré d'affirmations péremptoires non soutenues par les données scientifiques. www.sfsp.fr/images/25042... Exit la distinction corrélation-causalité, toute prudence a été abandonnée (comparé au 🧵

Sometimes Brussels is absolutely stunning

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

New preprint ! 🧠 Neural signatures of (nonlinguistic) stream segregation keep maturing from childhood to adulthood. The amplitude of the P400 (one of those "signatures") predicts speech perception in noise - already in kids. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Come along to my (free, online) UCL NeuroAI talk next week on neural architectures. What are they good for? All will finally be revealed and you'll never have to think about that question again afterwards. Yep. Definitely that.

Researchers paid nearly $9 billion to publishers between 2019 and 2023 so you could read our work. Why? Why??

Does it make sense to share a pre-print while it gets reviewed in a double-blind way? Or should we just wait?

I know I’m getting older because Notion makes ZERO sense to me, but the kids today are so fluent with it. I’ve sit down a few times with the only goal to « get good at it », but … I guess I’ll stick to post-it everywhere, all the time

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

Stream segregation, musical abilities, and the development of speech perception in noise https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39636231/

Stream segregation really is a key component that supports speech perception in noise, mediating effects of development (8-23 years) and musical abilities. New paper here: pubs.aip.org/asa/jel/arti...
