As a deaf person with a deaf kid, I'm the first to admit IDEA isn't perfect. I fight people's (often willful) misinterpretations of the Least Restrictive Environment every day. Just gave a lecture at BU about how change is needed. Deleting all legal oversight in the middle of the night isn't it.

@clauslamm.bsky.social & I contributed to a global study that analyzed 21 million trials across 30 languages, revealing semantic priming [SP] as a robust cognitive mechanism across cultures and writing systems.

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates.

For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim.

At #SNL2025? Go check out this poster with @zedsehyr.bsky.social
Poster "Does sensory and linguistic experience shape ERP signatures in deaf signers?". Poster displays images of ERP traces and topo plots. Research goal: Determine whether canonical ERP components are modality-neutral or shaped by language and sensory experience.​ Participants were 22 deaf ASL signers and 26 hearing English speakers. EEG was recorded while participants completed 6 tasks from the ERPCORE battery. Deaf signers show larger, more bilateral N170 for object recognition​. Deaf signers show typical but more negative N2pc​. Deaf signers show typical but smaller P3 with variable timing​. Deaf signers show smaller and bilateral LRP​. Deaf signers show smaller ERN than hearing​. Deaf signers show typical but smaller N400​. Sign N400 similar to word N400, marked by later onset​. Overall, canonical ERPs were observed in both groups, with group differences in distribution, timing, and amplitude.​

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.

It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.

Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

At the Science Fair for canceled grants, I had the privilege of speaking with @naomicaselli.bsky.social. Her team (which includes deaf researchers) were making breakthroughs to better identify & address language deprivation — when the Trump administration terminated their grant.

every year my lab does a re-read + edit of our Handbook, a documentation resource for how we do science

this year we also updated our Public Handbook, an open-access version for folks wanting to improve their own docs

it's at handbook-public.themusiclab.org and available for noncommercial re-use

As we age, we move slower and less precisely—but how much, exactly?

We analyzed one of the largest datasets on motor control to date—2,185 adults performing a reaching task.

Findings
• Reaction time: –1.2 ms/year
• Movement time: –2.3 ms/year
• Precision: –0.02°/year

Graphical abstract from the Journal of Neurophysiology with 3 panels. The first panel is titled "Task" with the text: "Record responses in the inferior colliculus (IC) while monkeys perform a multi-modal localization task." A diagram depicts a behavioral task requiring a subject to fixate their eyes on a central light, wait for a target (auditory, visual, or both at a single location) to appear, and then move their eyes to the location of the target. The second panel is titled "Local Field Potential (LFP)" with the text: "Visually-evoked responses to both fixation and target lights." Two figures show the average local field potential (LFP) from multiple recording sites over time during a trial, showing a response that deviates from the pre-stimulus baseline in response to the fixation light (left figure) and visual targets (right figure). Finally, the third panel is titled "Single-Unit Spiking Activity" with the text: "Visually-induced modulation of auditory responses even when the visual spiking response is weak." Two figures follow. The first figure is a peri-stimulus time histogram (PSTH) from one neuron, showing the response to a visual, auditory, and audiovisual target over time. The second figure is a bar plot quantifying the first figure, showing that the audiovisual response has a lower firing rate than the auditory response, despite the visual response for this neuron being near zero. Below the 3 main panels of the graphical abstract is a footer with the logo of the American Physiological Society and the Journal of Neurophysiology.

Blind toddlers often experience language delays. Blind adults do not.

In our new paper at @langdevres.bsky.social, we ask whether differences in language input could help them catch up:

Do parents speak differently to blind children than sighted children?
