🎉 New paper out by a member of our group! Are speakers sensitive to lexical bias effects in their own auditory feedback? And do such effects shape speech production? 🚨 Spoiler in the title! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #phonetics #auditoryfeedback #lexicalbias

Lexical Bias Effects do not Influence Responses to Real-Time Temporal Auditory Feedback Perturbation - Miriam Oschkinat, Eva Reinisch, Philip Hoole, 2026
In speech perception, listeners tend to hear real words rather than non-words on a physically balanced real word—non-word continuum (lexical bias effect). Bourg...

🚨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/

The trove of files released by the Department of Justice, illuminates Epstein’s deep interest and entrenchment in the scientific community. But the files also underscore how he used his power and money in ways that kept women out of places where they might succeed. bit.ly/4qWgPLz

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM
In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

Elgato Facecam: cheap, good motion tracking outcomes, also would be good for manual annotation, mountable to tripods or essentially anything. We used three, but that depends on the size of the scene :)

So what would a truly holistic model of communication look like? One that takes breathing, posture, and biomechanics seriously. Difficult but necessary 🤓 [5/6]

Even your legs matter. 🦶 Leg movements affect speech intensity, your lower body anchors the posture that frees your upper body to gesture, and conversation partners subtly synchronize their postural sway with each other. [4/6]

Now the arms and torso. 💪 Gestures are often seen as a byproduct of thinking — your brain computes, your hands follow. But arm movements physically pressure the respiratory system and change how your voice acoustics. The gesture shapes the utterance, not just the other way around. [3/6]

Starting at the top: your head literally changes your voice. 🧠 Tilting your head up raises your pitch — because your laryngeal muscles are physically connected to the muscles that move your head. Check out the new paper from @acwiek.bsky.social and @susfuchs.bsky.social in Open Mind! [2/6]

A 20-30 minutes discussion will follow that hopefully leaves enough time for questions and comments related to the presented problem. 🧩 We are looking for the first presenter for a meeting that will take place in the first half of 2026. If you are interested or have questions, please reach out 🥳

Each meeting will be dedicated to one person 👩🏽‍🏫👨🏻‍🏫 presenting their project and a challenge they have encountered. The presentation should be around 30 minutes long including: what am I doing, what are the methodological challenges or problems I encounter, and questions to the audience.

This meeting aims to create an open and collaborative space where we can: 🔧 Share experiences on how different analysis methods or EnvisionBox modules are being applied. 🧠 Learn from each other’s workflows and insights, and 🎙️Discuss open problems and challenges to find solutions collaboratively.

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."
