Decoding words during sentence production with ECoG reveals syntactic role encoding and structure-dependent temporal dynamics
Communications Psychology - Using electrical recordings taken from the surface of the brain, researchers decode what words neurosurgical patients are saying and show that the brain plans words in a...

A Scalable Pipeline for Estimating Verb Frame Frequencies Using Large Language Models
We present an automated pipeline for estimating Verb Frame Frequencies (VFFs), the frequency with which a verb appears in particular syntactic frames. VFFs provide a powerful window into syntax in bot...

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!

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!

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)

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:

The language and cognition concentration examines neurobiological mechanisms in speech perception, reading, sentence processing, semantic memory, and more.

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
