❓Are #TheoryOfMind (inferring others’ mental states) brain areas always engaged to understand what people mean, or only for specific speech act types? And if so, why? 🤔

🎉 New work in @royalsocietypublishing.org w @isabellaboux.bsky.social& #FPulvermüller

Exciting news! 🎉 I just got a @dfg.de grant award for answering 3 #HOWs:

-“how” our brains process communicative functions,
-“how”we get what others mean, “how”fast it happens, and
-“how” this can feed back into theories of language and mind.

Can’t wait to start it! 😊🥳

The Dahlem Center for Linguistics is the new Interdisziplinäres Zentrum Europäische Sprachen 🤩

We’ll be launching this exciting new chapter of linguistics at Freie Universität Berlin (@freieuniversitaet.bsky.social @berlinualliance.bsky.social) with an inaugural symposium on 20 June 2025.

👉Excited to give this talk focus ing on

“when” and “where” speech acts are processed in the brain and

“how” neural evidence can inform back linguistic-pragmatic theory.

Come by if you are around! Looking forward to the discussion!💬😊

We just played analogical word ladders here :-)

Fantastic talks at Conversational Dynamics: Abstraction and Abstractness workshop #Bologna

Big thanks to

Enjoyed it to the fullest!😊

It's that time again to update the lab's psycholinguistic database page. Lmk if you have any suggestions for stuff I've missed or sections to add (NLP, aphasia, discourse). Any suggestions for improving this hub would be most appreciated. www.reilly-coglab.com/data

📣 🚨 New publication led by #MaximeCarriere simulating monkey and human frontotemporal connectivity structures (AF), revealing that “verbal working memory” emerges only in the human model. 🧠
