Very cool work!

Very much enjoyed my conversation with @rbaltman.bsky.social on the Future of Learning to Read engineering.stanford.edu/news/future-...

First senior author paper! Excited to share this work led by Hannah Stone with the dream team @jamielmitchell.bsky.social, Mia Fuentes-Jimenez, Jasmine Tran, and of course the mentorship and guidance of @jyeatman.bsky.social . Now out in the Journal of Neuroscience- www.jneurosci.org/content/45/1...

New study up on ROAR@Home BETA. We’re developing a phonics screener particularly for early elementary school. Please report bugs if you encounter any! roar.stanford.edu/signup/

It's hard to overstate what a big deal this paper is: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Head motion in dMRI is NOT like head motion in BOLD.

I think magnetic resonance fingerprinting is one of the biggest innovations in quantitative MRI this decade and new work led by @mayayablonski.bsky.social convinced my that this methodology will drive new research directions in developmental cognitive neuroscience doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Cool new review from @drewhalbailey.bsky.social that’s well worth the read! www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Just attended a wonderful guest lecture from @lisapatel.bsky.social about effects of climate change on early childhood.

Facts were depressing, but my main takeaway was for adults to model taking climate action collectively, and also to help our children build a personal connection to nature.

Looks like a useful resource!

New preprint from Maha Ramamurthy thoroughly unpacking the mutli-element processing (visual attention space) task. The data point towards a general issue with rapid visual processing in dyslexia osf.io/preprints/os...

On my way to San Diego to represent ROAR as a universal #dyslexia screener in San Diego country school. Whether or not schools choose, ROAR I’m excited to talk with district leaders and teachers about our vision to build deeper, systematic links between research and practice so come find me!

Wasn’t a headline I was ever expecting to see www.science.org/content/arti...

Thanks to all the beta testers out there, we've fixed all reported bugs and the ROAR@Home Research Portal is back up and running! roar.stanford.edu/homesignup/

Causality is a challenge in human neuroscience and intervention studies are few and far between. Though not a RCT, the longitudinal intervention design from @jamielmitchell.bsky.social offers insights into the balance between stability and plasticity in dyslexia www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tour de force from @anyawma.bsky.social developing a new, computer-adaptive approach to reading assessment at scale for use in research and educational practice! link.springer.com/article/10.3...

First preprint on ROAR-Español is up! Coming soon, a whole suite of Spanish measures validated in the US and Latin America. In the meantime, check out “A fair lexical decision task for monolingual and multilingual Spanish-speakers”

With a mission to democratize access to reading assessments we’re getting ready to launch ROAR@Home for beta testing! The UI/UX is still in its infancy but please report issues and keep your eyes out for a UI/UX designer position later this year.

Out now in Brain! Using direct cortical stimulation in 49 patients we show distinct regions of ventral temporal cortex that selectively knock out the ability to read or name. Word-selective VWFA can causally and reliably be isolated from other visual language functions.
