Why are we so good at adapting to "sub-optimal" speech? I argue, in this review paper, that adaptation may be driven by the combined action of dopamine and norepinephrine via prediction error signaling. It's early days with this idea, but I'm excited to have it out there and to keep exploring more!
Stop, drop everything and pick up this new review paper from LABlab member @hannahmech.bsky.social. In it, Hannah argues for considering speech adaptation through the lens of reinforcement learning. Good stuff. link.springer.com/epdf/10.3758...

Can AI and robotics help us in many ways? I am not a Luddite — I believe they can.
But we must make sure these new technologies benefit all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.
I hope you'll take a few minutes to read my op-ed in Fox News. Let’s start the debate.
