Our brains have an internal GPS that guides us through physical space. But does it do more than that? A recent preprint from the lab shows that the brain’s navigation system also maps sound 🧠 🌎 🔉 Read more here: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #auditory #neuroscience @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social 🧵1/4
Spatial coding supports auditory conceptual navigation
Grid cells in human entorhinal cortex encode spatial layouts for real-world navigation, yet their role in conceptual navigation remains unclear. Here we show that mentally transforming tones within a ...

New preprint by @mkachlicka.bsky.social et al.! Perceptual strategies set by one's first language can make learning a second language difficult. Can short-term training change participants' strategies, potentially facilitating second language learning? The answer is sort of! osf.io/preprints/ps...

Hi new followers! Here are a few recent papers from the lab:

@mkachlicka.bsky.social shows that Illusory transformation of speech into song is unaffected by language background, suggesting cross-cultural similarity in cues used to distinguish speech and music: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Weighting of cues to categorization of song versus speech in tone-language and non-tone-language speakers
One of the most important auditory categorization tasks a listener faces is determining a sound's domain, a process which is a prerequisite for succes…
