EEG requires many neurons aligned so that their electric fields can positively sum to spread up to the scalp. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how "open fields" contribute to EEG recordings.

Interpreting EEG requires understanding how the skull smears electrical fields as they propagate from the cortex. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how dipole depth/orientation change the topomap.

Linguistic coupling between neural systems for speech production and comprehension during real-time dyadic conversations Zada et al. use fMRI hyperscanning to simultaneously record dyads engaging in free-form, interactive conversations. They find that speech production and comprehension rely on highly overlapping neural representations across the cortical language network. Brain-to-brain coupling is strongest in areas associated with social cognition.

Animacy semantic network supports causal inferences about illness Making causal inferences about illness, compared to making causal inferences about mechanical breakdown and reading causally unconnected sentences, activates a semantic brain network implicated in the conceptual representation of animate entities (e.g. people, animals).

New paper with Marina Bedny out in eLife (elifesciences.org/articles/101...). Main takeaway: Different kinds of causal knowledge are supported by different semantic brain networks - consistent with the "intuitive theories" framework from developmental psychology. 1/
