New lab preprint!!

Is that clear? Robust electrophysiological measures of the effects of prior knowledge on degraded speech perception.

A short thread:

[Mick Crosse @mick_crosse]

New @arxiv preprint w/ @SMolholm @JohnnyFoxe describing our #resampling #statistics toolbox for @MATLAB:
'PERMUTOOLS: A MATLAB Package for Multivariate Permutation Testing'

There is a lot to pay attention to in this paper:
1) It is very easy to jailbreak AIs to overcome guardrails by just using the persuasion techniques that work on humans!
2) They show a wide range of techniques
3) The page about the paper is just amazing https://t.co/RT5vR9A17v

I am hiring several pre docs/research assistants in Medellin. RT! Apply!

Past RAs have regularly gone on to top-10 PhD programs or to great policy careers. My earliest field RAs are now professors at top universities.

Too many pre-docs are US-based and focused on data analysis. This is a chance to learn the craft of field research—primary data collection, quasi/randomized experiment design, team management, government relationships, data management, etc.

3 positions open:

1) Senior research assistant (Typically has an MA and previous RA or managerial experience): https://t.co/nyIOtczh9W

2) Research assistant (typically a high performing recent undergraduate, ideally with some RA experience): https://t.co/WOpgBO0MpP

3) Research analyst (typically a recent undergraduate, more of a technical support staff, looking for an entry-level step in a research analyst position): https://t.co/1hB7Yif3mL

If you are not sure which to apply to, apply to one and we will sort you, or apply to more than one (same materials) and we will figure it out.

Finally, this is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the best weather. Also a mecca for cuclists and climbers.

@edmundlalor @4J4nderson Really cool stuff!

[James O'Sullivan @James_0Sullivan]

Delighted to be presenting my first poster in over 4 years at #INSAR2023 where we show how the latest developments in automatic speech recognition (#ASR) can be leveraged to automate and thereby greatly accelerate speech analysis in the context of #AutismSpectrumDisorder (#ASD)

A good weekend read from our lab! “Joint, distributed and hierarchically organized encoding of linguistic features in the human auditory cortex”. https://t.co/zKOrL4MpeM

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

I wrote about the new anti-obesity drugs—semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro)—that represent one of the most important breakthroughs in medicine

@shaunoboyle It twitter friend counts, it’d be lovely if you could hype this:
As part of a conference a group of us have made virtual escape rooms for kids with an adult in 6 different languages to show how maths and neuroscience work together to model decision making.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Neural networks often pack many unrelated concepts into a single neuron – a puzzling phenomenon known as 'polysemanticity' which makes interpretability much more challenging. In our latest work, we build toy models where the origins of polysemanticity can be fully understood.

Multiple postdoc positions available (US & UK)!

Our new (NSF/BBSRC) project links 5 labs (US & UK) to study auditory selective attention (behavior & neurobiology).
