🧠How does the hierarchy of speech representations unfolds in the human brain? Our latest work, led by @lauragwilliams.bsky.social, together with Alec Marantz and @davidpoeppel.bsky.social, is now out in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Jean-Rémi King - The Emergence of Language in the Human Brain We’re excited to announce that @jeanremiking.bsky.social , CRNS researcher at the ENS Paris & leader of Meta’s Brain & AI team, will be sharing groundbreaking insights into how language emerges in the human brain at BHD2025!

[2/2] 📊 His research uses encoding and decoding approaches to show how modern speech and language models account for brain responses to natural speech, measured with EEG, MEG, iEEG, and fMRI, even in children aged 2 to 12. 📆 November 19–21, 2025. +info 👇 brainhack-donostia.github.io

Excited to be with my team at #ccn2025 this week! I’ll be presenting part of the workshop on Thursday. Come say hi!

We’re very happy to share 3 highlights of our Brain and AI team for #CCN2025 's week: 1. 🏆1st place for the Algonauts competition: paper, thtread and code below 2.🗣Keynote: Language in the Brain: 2025.ccneuro.org/k-and-t-lang... 3. 🚀Tutorial: Scale your decoding pipeline in the notebook

Last week, @danielsexton16.bsky.social (7th year Neurosurgery Resident at Duke University) presented Linnea Evanson and colleagues' new paper on comparing the development of language from childhood to adulthood and how it relates to LLMs. This 🧵 explores our thoughts (🤍 & ❔)

Academia is often a long dry road, but every now and then you get the most amazing comment 🤗

New preprint, w/ @predictivebrain.bsky.social ! we've found that visual cortex, even when just viewing natural scenes, predicts *higher-level* visual features The aligns with developments in ML, but challenges some assumptions about early sensory cortex www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our EEG-Foundation Challenge, on more than 3,000 subjects, is accepted at #Neurips 2025, go check it out: eeg2025.github.io Led by B Aristimunha D Truong P Guetschel and SY Shirazi!
