That’s a wrap for the Cambridge Speech Decoding workshop 🧠👂🏽thanks for joining! 🦆 @mrccbu.bsky.social

Next up is @hyojinpark.bsky.social on using mutual information analysis to quantify brain-speech correspondence @unibirmingham.bsky.social

We’re now hearing from Nate Zuk on interpreting the TRF - how reliable is it?

First talk of the day from Marlies Gillis on encoding and decoding models

Alexis Deighton MacIntyre and Lidea Shahidi @mrccbu.bsky.social will explore the experimental control & generative capabilities of state-of-the-art speech synthesis to produce audiological testing materials and conduct evaluation to ensure fit for use in clinical tests to assess speech perception.
