In a new preprint with @kleind.bsky.social, we ask two questions: (Q1) People differ in how they perceive the similarity of stimuli in their environment. How can we model the features underlying similarity judgments in arbitrary domains, while accounting for individual differences? osf.io/agpb5_v1 🧵
In this new paper led by @drcharlotte.bsky.social and myself, we explored phonological representations in monolingual and bilingual neural networks trained on speech recognition: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

True. And before meeting Yue Sun I had no idea you could have conversations that last for hours about: syllables.
Just looked through this paper again - and I still think these results are cool (and less obvious than one might think) :-)
"Syllables and their beginnings have a special role in the mental lexicon" Yue Sun providing a nice perspective on phonology and the lexicon.

This was an interesting commentary to write on work by Binder et al. regarding impaired acoustic phonetic perception after unilateral left hemisphere stroke. academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...
Converging and conflicting evidence for left temporal lobe regions in acoustic-phonetic perception
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Lesion correlates of impaired acoustic-phonetic perception after unilateral left hemisphere stroke’ by Binder et al.

People talk a lot about objects, but what about the softness of a cushion, the greenness of an emerald, or the viscosity of oil? In our work just published @pnas.org, we shed light on how we make sense of the hundreds of materials around us.
