It’s interesting to reconcile the idea that LLMs learn and use language just like humans do with the fact that their training and data storage needs are so resource-intensive they’re going to destroy the planet.

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

At #SNL2025? Go check out this poster with @zedsehyr.bsky.social
Poster "Does sensory and linguistic experience shape ERP signatures in deaf signers?". Poster displays images of ERP traces and topo plots. 
Research goal: Determine whether canonical ERP components are modality-neutral or shaped by language and sensory experience.​ Participants were 22 deaf ASL signers and 26 hearing English speakers. EEG was recorded while participants completed 6 tasks from the ERPCORE battery. 

Deaf signers show larger, more bilateral N170 for object recognition​. Deaf signers show typical but more negative N2pc​. Deaf signers show typical but smaller P3 with variable timing​. Deaf signers show smaller and bilateral LRP​. Deaf signers show smaller ERN than hearing​. Deaf signers show typical but smaller N400​. Sign N400 similar to word N400, marked by later onset​.

Overall, canonical ERPs were observed in both groups, with group differences in distribution, timing, and amplitude.​

I'm happy to share a new paper from my PhD research! Exciting work about how visual info helps us process sound, and an example of federal funding that benefits all of us - from your health to community health. doi.org/10.1152/jn.0... With @jmgrohneuro.bsky.social & Jesse Herche Thread: 🧵👇 1/10
Graphical abstract from the Journal of Neurophysiology with 3 panels. The first panel is titled "Task" with the text: "Record responses in the inferior colliculus (IC) while monkeys perform a multi-modal localization task." A diagram depicts a behavioral task requiring a subject to fixate their eyes on a central light, wait for a target (auditory, visual, or both at a single location) to appear, and then move their eyes to the location of the target. The second panel is titled "Local Field Potential (LFP)" with the text: "Visually-evoked responses to both fixation and target lights." Two figures show the average local field potential (LFP) from multiple recording sites over time during a trial, showing a response that deviates from the pre-stimulus baseline in response to the fixation light (left figure) and visual targets (right figure). Finally, the third panel is titled "Single-Unit Spiking Activity" with the text: "Visually-induced modulation of auditory responses even when the visual spiking response is weak." Two figures follow. The first figure is a peri-stimulus time histogram (PSTH) from one neuron, showing the response to a visual, auditory, and audiovisual target over time. The second figure is a bar plot quantifying the first figure, showing that the audiovisual response has a lower firing rate than the auditory response, despite the visual response for this neuron being near zero. Below the 3 main panels of the graphical abstract is a footer with the logo of the American Physiological Society and the Journal of Neurophysiology.
