The 2nd Bangor fMRS symposium kicked off tonight, with a welcome dinner in Bwyd da Bangor. A good start I think.

This month at the BIU, our faculty are working hard on the final preparations for two major symposia/workshops that take place in early September.
Our events attract international instructors, speakers, and we deliver once-in-lifetime experiences and unparalleled networking opportunities.

New and exciting paper from @rjbinney.bsky.social and honorary BIU member @emij.bsky.social !
🚨📄 New paper!
Abstract words are hard to acquire: Does social relevance help?
We tested if social experience helps children learn words—analyzing >4,000 words by socialness, valence, and concreteness.
👬 More social words were learned earlier
💭 Socialness particularly helped abstract words, but…

🚨 New paper out in Human Brain Mapping! 🚨
with @pennypexman.bsky.social and @rjbinney.bsky.social
🧠 We show that the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) semantic hub supports abstract verb processing—with distinct activity patterns for:
• Emotional verbs
• Mental verbs
• Non-embodied verbs
