New paper in #ScienceAdvances! 10 ECoG patients performed 3 language production tasks: word, word list, and sentence production. We found surprising dissociations between how active cortical sites were and whether they encoded linguistic information: 🧵 [1/9] doi.org/10.1126/scia... @science.org

Hybrid spatial organization and evidence for magnitude-independent neural coding of linguistic information during sentence production
Brain recordings during speech reveal complex linguistic information throughout cortex, independent of neural activity levels.

Very grateful to have received the Gibson/Fedorenko Award at #HSP2026, and sorry I couldn’t attend this year. HSP feels like my academic home, so I’m especially touched. Thank you to the community, organizers, and donors who make it possible!

🧠 Newly out: Paper-with-a-way-too-long-name-for-social-media! How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in @commspsychol.nature.com

For folx at #HSP2025, tune in at 2:15 for our talk on the processing of Switch-Reference Marking in Nungon, a language spoken by ~1000 ppl that requires speakers to inflect the verb not just for features of its subject, but also for the UPCOMING subject! hsp2025.github.io/abstracts/15...

Just presented our work using #ECoG to decode words during sentence production at #HSP2025. Really grateful for all the great feedback. I got more clever ideas for future directions than I can possibly follow up on. Love this conference! doi.org/10.1101/2024...
Results of decoding words during the production of active and passive sentences. In actives, nouns were decoded in the order they were said, whereas in passives, prefrontal cortex sustained representations of both the subject and the object throughout the duration of the sentence while sensorimotor areas patterned with actives (showing “congruent” temporal representations).

Little late here but this talk at #hsp2025 yesterday was SO neat. Literacy effects disappear when you control for differences in SES. Work by Jessica Vélez Avilés and Paola (Giuli) Dussias hsp2025.github.io/abstracts/26...

So because I was reminded - the definitive answer to "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" is "by what taxonomy?" Categories matter, after all. Taxonomies exist for a reason. If you're not clear on defining your categories, then your mixed berry salad will consist of:
Scotch bonnet peppersPlantains on a bunchSliced honeydew melonAssorted squash/gourds

With Bluesky a-hoppin', now's a good time to advertise that faculty (inc. me!) at UConn (both in Language and Cognition and Speech and Hearing) are recruiting PhD students. Fantastic Lang. Sci. community, some cool training grants. psychology.uconn.edu/phd/language...

New preprint! We know a lot about how the brain produces single words. But how does word production work in sentences? We tracked 6 words in the brain while ECoG patients used them to produce sentences like "Dracula hit Frankenstein". 🧵 1/9 doi.org/10.1101/2024...
Depiction of a picture naming trial (patient sees Frankenstein and says "Frankenstein"), a sentence production trial (patient sees Dracula hitting Frankenstein and says "Dracula hit Frankenstein"), and mean neural activity for each of the six words in one electrode during picture naming.
