Quick advertisement for #openscience: making all our data and materials freely available online increased the visibility of our prior study, and sparked a new collaboration with researchers on the other side of the globe

New paper! In collaboration with a team in Australia, we demonstrate how beta oscillations in left prefrontal EEG reflect statistical learning of speech in children:

Sometimes I see Arial and a little part of me dies inside

Remember how the same writers ranked Cleveland dead last at the start of the season, and yet they went on to win a pennant and went 7 games into the WS against the Dodgers?

Me neither.

'Tis the season of flooded inboxes & time to reamplify this brilliant tip from @hannahrsnyder.bsky.social.

and also, pintxos!

Local youth ruins evening of California man making 50 times his salary

I don't understand why Garfield hates Mondays. To the best of my reckoning he has never been held accountable for anything, on any day of the week.

Do American researchers have to explain why they only recruited American participants or is that special feedback that editors/reviewers reserve for Canadian researchers? Also, I'm getting pretty sick of having to explain why it's good to have data specific to my own country.

we asked for PeopleSoft, we got People-Hard

Here it really does mean the main event intends to start at 7 sharp!

Do we like invites that say "arrive at 6 for dinner at 7" or the like? I feel like that helps keep people calibrated.

And they won for research showing the importance of investing in research. The irony couldn't get any more ironic.

Can't discount: this is the first game a lot of folks have tuned in for all year

Curious about the human ability to extract regularities from sensory input (i.e., “statistical learning”) and individual differences therein? #CognitiveScience #Learning

Can't wait for the NYT "Pepe Explainer" article

Shall we discuss the necessity of "neurobiology" when neuro presumably implies biology?

I'll tell you tomorrow, I swear

Ten years on I'm still on free-tier Slack. I prefer not to know how much better paid-tier would be - it's just too damned expensive for a team of 10-15 users. I'd switch to Discord first.

The only closer having a worse month is... Jordan Romano :/

Oh sweet!

but which body are you using with the 70-200 lens?

Super interesting, thanks!

Cool. Interestingly, the speech perception literature is headed in the other direction. McClelland & Elman in the 80s, but more recently McMurray, Magnuson, Toscano (+ others), suggesting fuzzy/graded effects during processing, with categorization happening relatively late in the game

I once had a student 'tailor' her assignment for me by plagiarizing one of my papers. Does that count?

Seems like a good sign right? Their blown save rate last year was atrocious, like 20 losses or something

how did I not know? :(
