Excited to kick off 2025 with new research in #MachineLearning, #Decoding, #MusicNeuroscience! Our paper, “Temporally Dissociable Neural Representations of Pitch Height and Chroma”, now in @sfnjournals.bsky.social doi.org/10.1523/JNEU... @davidpoeppel.bsky.social, @xiangbin-teng.bsky.social! 🧠🎵 1/n

Thrilled to share our new paper with @candrew123.bsky.social & @davidpoeppel.bsky.social 🧠🎵 Amazing work by Andrew, who led this study uncovering how the brain encodes pitch—first linearly, then transforming into a helix-like structure! 🔄🎶 Check it out: #MusicNeuroscience #AuditoryCognition

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

"One of the most accurate measures of power is the ability to get away with hypocrisy" NYTimes OpEd, L Polgreen, Jan 8, 2025 This past year, I learned this the hard way.

I'm very happy that this paper by Francecso Mantegna (now Oxford) and Joan Orpella (now Georgetown) is published. Congrats for some heroic data wrangling! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Unusual experiment (mental imagery of speech planning+MEG) shows cool perspective on speech production

what does brain activity look like if we think about speaking but don't make any noise? @davidpoeppel.bsky.social 's group find it looks surprisingly like activity during actual speech. Who needs sensory feedback? 🤷 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics #neuroskyence

Start 2025 with some music neuroscience reading? Temporally dissociable neural representations of pitch height and chroma osf.io/preprints/ps... @candrew123 & me & @TengXB

To deal with the tensions between experimental control and naturalism, here a psycholinguistically carefully controlled corpus of craftedstories, professionally recorded as well. "NyU-BU contextually controlled stories Corpus: NUBUC" catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/docs/LDC2022...

More free stuff! A lovely corpus of non-speech emotional vocalization: "The Variably Intense Vocalizations of Affect and Emotion (VIVAE) Corpus Prompts New Perspective on Nonspeech Perception: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Tons of MEG data for anyone's delectation: Introducing MEG-MASC a high-quality magneto-encephalography dataset for evaluating natural speech processing www.nature.com/articles/s41...
