Girl in a pink hoodie on her bed, reading a comic. The image is divided in two down the centre. One half of the image is the girl's bedroom with posters and merch from her favourite comic. The other half represents the exciting world the comic is transporting her to. It has darker colours and her hair is depicted as moving.

Woke up to find someone had sneaked onto the bed AND had stolen my hat some time in the night. #schnauzer #stealthmode

Mice making a good showing at the Cambridge Language Sciences symposium poster slam!
Photo of a PowerPoint slide explaining a prediction error experiment using an illustrated example of a mouse learning how many times to press a lever to get a reward of cheese & avoid surprising result of chili 🌶️ Photo of a PowerPoint slide explaining an experiment in speech comprehension where a listener is required to disambiguate mouse as an animal from mouse as a computer peripheral device. There is an illustration showing a line of mice (creatures) above a line of mice (devices) that gradually fade in visibility, until the last one, which is fully visible. Below the illustrations is written "the woman disliked the mouse because of the noise it made when it clicked" with the words mouse and clicked highlighted to show how the competing meanings are activated at the word "mouse" and disambiguated with the word "clicked".
