Presented at #NeuroCog2025 this Tuesday my pilot results of linking SL to language on the construct level. The poster is in Toy Story color theme if you did not notice🛸 and will be available on my research gate 🙌
Painting of the conference: defo the season for a good cuppa tea now ☕️

Curious about the human ability to extract regularities from sensory input (i.e., “statistical learning”) and individual differences therein? #CognitiveScience #Learning

Our #Consensus paper presents the collective insights of 27 researchers worldwide 🌎 💬 🌍 💬 🌏 💬:

We kicked off #NeuroNarratives last weekend during #BrainAwarenessWeek — bringing together artists & neuroscientists to share ideas and form collaboration pairs. Huge thanks to all the residents! 🧠🎨
Can’t wait to see what unfolds this year. Stay tuned! ✨

Really happy to have presented a poster on my work “Reliable measures of orthographic statistical learning predict spelling but not reading skill” at #AMLAP2025. Other honorable mentions go to this gorgeous painting at the national gallery and the beautiful weather throughout 🌅🕶️☔️

I think this is a very powerful example of how 'the language network' comes about (or doesn't). See our paper on why we think 'the language network' is widely distributed in the brain: pure.mpg.de/rest/items/i... (same pic of simulation posted below w/ white background for those who use dark mode)

@boevesam.bsky.social & Haoyu Zhou's paper is out!

The title says it all: 'A meta analysis of 97 studies reveals that statistical learning and language ability are only weakly correlated'. For those who like exact numbers, r = 0.16.

Proud PI! 👏 On #TeaP2025 two lab members presented their work:

Haoyu Zhou in the symposium #StatisticalLearning and its Role in #Language and #Reading acquisition.

@boevesam.bsky.social in the symposium From Babies to Semantics: Leveraging #LanguageModels for #Psycholinguistic Research.
