I am so honored to have received an Outstanding PhD Thesis award from the Luxembourg National Research Fund @fnr.lu! 🏆

My PhD research was about how language is processed in the brain, with a focus on patients with a language disorder called aphasia 🧠 Find out more➡️ youtu.be/E-Zww-B1jFQ?...

New BBS article w/ @lauragwilliams.bsky.social and Hinze Hogendoorn, just accepted! We respond to a thought-provoking article by @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social, and argue that it's premature to conclude that conscious perception is delayed by 350-450ms: bit.ly/4nYNTlb

#CCN2025 happy to chat with you about the developmental trajectory and neuroanatomical correlates of speech comprehension at poster session A on Tuesday 👉A41 🧒➡️👩🧠
looking forward to seeing everyone at #CCN2025! here's a snapshot of the work from my lab that we'll be presenting on speech neuroscience 🧠 ✨

Looking forward to this edition of the Bayli meeting in Davis!
Do you study language processing? Are you in (or close to) the Bay Area?

Join us for the third meeting of the Bay Area Language Processing Interest Group at UC Davis this Friday, April 11th!

Neural tracking of natural speech: an effective marker for post-stroke aphasia
The study examined brain responses to natural speech, i.e. neural tracking, in post-stroke aphasia. Individuals with aphasia exhibited reduced neural track

grateful to work in a lab with such cool research and a stellar advisor @lauragwilliams.bsky.social 🙏✨
are you into auditory neuroscience, speech perception and comprehension, music, tonotopy, psychophysics, MEG, EEG, time-resolved signals, data science for neuroscience?

reflecting on 2024, i am proud to share the first three papers from my lab! brief description of each below 🧠 🚀
