I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new lab in Fall 2026! The Shared Minds Lab at @usc.edu will combine deep learning and ecological human neuroscience to better understand how we communicate our thoughts from one brain to another.

How do different languages converge on a shared neural substrate for conceptual meaning? Happy to share a new preprint led by Zaid Zada that specifically addresses this question:

Really excited to share our new preprint led by @ahmadsamara.bsky.social with Zaid Zada, @vanderlab.bsky.social, and Uri Hasson titled "Cortical language areas are coupled via a soft hierarchy of model-based linguistic features" doi.org/10.1101/2025...

New preprint from the Hasson Lab🪄Delineates coupling b/w regions within the language network AND shows the elements of language that connect them. Led by
@ahmadsamara.bsky.social; thanks @samnastase.bsky.social
