🚨 New preprint 🚨

Prior work has mapped how the brain encodes concepts: If you see fire and smoke, your brain will represent the fire (hot, bright) and smoke (gray, airy). But how do you encode features of the fire-smoke relation? We analyzed fMRI with embeddings extracted from LLMs to find out 🧵

Finding the music of speech: Musical knowledge influences pitch processing in speech Few studies comparing music and language processing have adequately controlled for low-level acoustical differences, making it unclear whether differe…

Short speech utterances can be looped and after a few repetitions it sounds like the speaker is singing and once the switch from speech to song happens it never seems to go back. This paper we showed evidence for music knowledge being activated after the switch. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

And that's a wrap on #ARO2025. Grateful for the opportunity to give my first international conference talk and for the chance to (re-)connect with an incredible group of researchers.

See you next year in Puerto Rico for #ARO2026.

Event Segmentation Applications in Large Language Model Enabled Automated Recall Assessments Understanding how individuals perceive and recall information in their natural environments is critical to understanding potential failures in perception (e.g., sensory loss) and memory (e.g., dementi...

New Preprint 🚨

This research with @bjherrmann.bsky.social, @alexbarnett.bsky.social, and @barense.bsky.social extends previous work exploring how LLMs can simulate human event segmentation, with applications for automated recall assessments.
