Get to know New fellow @andreaeyleen.bsky.social from the MPI for Psycholinguistics. In a recent paper (Weissbart & Martin, 2024, Nature Communications), she shows that the brain doesn’t just rely on word statistics or grammatical rules, but it uses both. Very excited to have her in our program! 🧠🧠🧠
