If you're going to #SfN2025, don't miss out on Amanda Chirino's poster on semantic deficits in cerebellar degeneration participants. I am super proud of this project and Amanda Chirino has been doing great work on it! 📍Poster #: F3 🗓️ Date/Time: Wednesday 1PM

As our lab started to build encoding 🧠 models, we were trying to figure out best practices in the field. So @neurotaha.bsky.social built a library to easily compare design choices & model features across datasets! We hope it will be useful to the community & plan to keep expanding it! 1/

The cerebellar components of the human language network
The cerebellum's capacity for neural computation is arguably unmatched. Yet despite evidence of cerebellar contributions to cognition, including language, its precise role remains debated. Here, we sy...

I also want to one point of this paper, the effect the exclusion of cerebellum in research is having on cerebellar patients. Many struggle to find diagnoses or answers from physicians because there is such limited research. A real potential area for improving health outcomes with basic research.

Working on this paper with @aniladmello.bsky.social and @0xwbj.bsky.social was a delight. I feel like anyone who knows me (or probably any cerebellar researcher) has heard this spiel, but hopefully this helps the community take it more seriously!

Love this piece about our brain decoding work (and Rafa Yuste's tireless advocacy for neurorights) that Fletcher Reveley wrote for Undark: undark.org/2024/01/03/b...

Advances in Mind-Decoding Technologies Raise Hopes (and Worries)
Devices that connect brains to computers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Can the fledgling neurorights movement catch up?

I am super excited to share my new review paper cowritten with the great Anila D'Mello where we cover all the recent work on the potential role of the cerebellum in language processing (hint think semantics) authors.elsevier.com/c/1hlpH8MqMi... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Our new language fMRI dataset is now published in Scientific Data! And not only that it now includes nearly double the amount of data as the preprint version with up to 15 hours of fMRI per participant! Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

Super interesting paper comparing semantic representations of speech production to speech comprehension. I see this becoming a more popular trend in language neuroscience
