Fabulous talk today by @nadinelavan.bsky.social today at the @mrccbu.bsky.social on forming first impressions of voices, investigated both with behavioral and EEG techniques. We form first impressions SO quickly!

Went to a fantastic #musicology seminar at @cambridgeuni.bsky.social music department yesterday about Alma Mahler-Werfel (1879-1964), a Viennese composer (who happened to be Gustav Mahler’s wife). Grateful to Dr Genevieve Arkle for the fantastic foray into her life and work! #femalecomposers

In the spirit of #InternationalWomensDay I thought I’d share a reference for the original #cochlearimplant - Djourno & Eyriès are the duo generally credited with this invention in 1957, but a Mademoiselle Daniele Kayser is also referenced, and is a named co-author on several previous references!

I’m quite late at this point but in an attempt to catch up on “socials” at the start of 2025, I’m pleased to report that the final (I hope) paper from my PhD has been published ☺️ we validated the current-spread estimate of the PECAP method in #cochlearimplant patients

It was a pleasure to host @akiraoc.bsky.social for Chaucer Club at the @mrccbu.bsky.social this past week. He laid out origins of systemic racism and sexism embedded in aspects of our discipline, encouraging us to question why some scientists don’t make it into the cannon. Important & Provocative!
