Very grateful to have received the Gibson/Fedorenko Award at #HSP2026, and sorry I couldn’t attend this year. HSP feels like my academic home, so I’m especially touched. Thank you to the community, organizers, and donors who make it possible!

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

Excited to present this (now-published) project at the 11am poster session today. Poster C36 for the elevator version! #SNL2025 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

📊 New Preprint! A Scalable Pipeline for Estimating Verb Frame Frequencies Using Large Language Models. We introduce another unexpected use for LLMs: custom treebanks via automated corpus annotation 🧵1/8 doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Very cool opportunity here!!

I am #hiring for a #postdoc in #aphasia to join me at IU! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

🧠 Newly out: Paper-with-a-way-too-long-name-for-social-media! How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in @commspsychol.nature.com

Super proud of this! Thread to come soon…

For folx at #HSP2025, tune in at 2:15 for our talk on the processing of Switch-Reference Marking in Nungon, a language spoken by ~1000 ppl that requires speakers to inflect the verb not just for features of its subject, but also for the UPCOMING subject! hsp2025.github.io/abstracts/15...

Just presented our work using #ECoG to decode words during sentence production at #HSP2025. Really grateful for all the great feedback. I got more clever ideas for future directions than I can possibly follow up on. Love this conference! doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Little late here but this talk at #hsp2025 yesterday was SO neat. Literacy effects disappear when you control for differences in SES. Work by Jessica Vélez Avilés and Paola (Giuli) Dussias hsp2025.github.io/abstracts/26...

✨i'm hiring a lab manager, with a start date of ~September 2025! to express interest, please complete this google form: forms.gle/GLyAbuD779Rz... looking for someone to join our multi-disciplinary team, using OPM, EEG, iEEG and computational techniques to study speech and language processing! 🧠

Very cool stuff!

my first preprint with @dbrang.bsky.social is now live. we tested whether mouth movement improves auditory speech onset encoding and ongoing speech envelope tracking with distinct or overlapping mechanisms (1/7)

I've created a Black In Psychology Starter Pack to highlight the excellence of Black psychologists, #psychology trainees, psych organizations, & prospective students. Let me know, if you'd like to be added! 👨🏾‍🏫👩🏾‍🏫🧠 Help me spread the word by reposting 🙏🏽 go.bsky.app/KbrZvB8 #BlackSky #PsychSky #SciSky

So because I was reminded - the definitive answer to "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" is "by what taxonomy?" Categories matter, after all. Taxonomies exist for a reason. If you're not clear on defining your categories, then your mixed berry salad will consist of:

Looks like nobody has made a Cognitive Psychology starter pack yet, so I made one! Comment to get added to the list! All things cognition are welcome. go.bsky.app/NsFhnV #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #Psychology #CogPsych

With Bluesky a-hoppin', now's a good time to advertise that faculty (inc. me!) at UConn (both in Language and Cognition and Speech and Hearing) are recruiting PhD students. Fantastic Lang. Sci. community, some cool training grants. psychology.uconn.edu/phd/language...

New preprint! We know a lot about how the brain produces single words. But how does word production work in sentences? We tracked 6 words in the brain while ECoG patients used them to produce sentences like "Dracula hit Frankenstein". 🧵 1/9 doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Got an X notification for a Trump tweet today and decided it was time to make the switch. Hello bluer skies!
