🎉New Paper Alert!🎉

Really excited that this collaboration is finally out! It shows that combining oscillatory dynamics with hierarchical predictive frameworks generates speech perception that is robust to temporal distortions: similarly to human behavior and more so than current ASR models.

A. James Hudspeth, neuroscientist who unlocked secrets of hearing, has died - News A. James Hudspeth, a Rockefeller neuroscientist who discovered how sound waves are converted into electrical signals in the ear's cochlea, died Saturday at his home in Manhattan. A pioneering scientist and dedicated mentor, he was the university's F.M. ...

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Jim Hudspeth passed away on Saturday. We will remember and continue to be inspired by Jim’s integrity, his humility, and his unwavering commitment to discovery.

@scone-neuro.bsky.social has a great review coming soon led by @annekeitel.bsky.social. We summarize major oscillatory mechanisms and discuss open questions across a range of subfields in cog neuro. The preprint should be out soon.

/1 We took our sweet time (~3yrs) to put this into its final shape - but happy to say that the pre-print of an extensive review of brain rhythms in cognition - from a cognruro perspective - is now available. Please let us know what you think. #neuroskyence doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Tinnitus perception is linked to arousal system dysfunction Tinnitus, the perception of sound in the absence of an external source, affects 14% of the population and is often associated with concentration and emotional difficulties. However, the characterizati...

New preprint from our team!

People with tinnitus often complain about attention difficulties so we made them perform several tasks (n=200). After correcting for comorbidities, no deficits in selective attention or executive functions could be observed but they exhibited poorer control of arousal.

💡 Check our new preprint (by @sophiebouton.bsky.social, w/ with @valerian-chambon.bsky.social @nargolestani.bsky.social). We organize modeling approaches based along two axes (covariance and temporal dependencies), which shapes how they align with specific scientific goals in language neuroscience.
