Our work showing that EEG correlates of semantic processing reflect comprehension of the narrative is featured as cover art @EJNeuroscience!

H/T to @NateZuk for the design.

With @MBroderick8 and @4J4nderson

OK - it's taken us a long time to get this one over the line - nice to see it finally out at @EJNeuroscience

This is such a major step forward in patient safety and patient care. We are so delighted to have partnered with @Synchrophi Cavan General Hospital, HSE National Medical Devices ,@entirl @HIHIreland to make this happen. Thanks to @HealthTech_IRL for the recognition. @HSE_DA

A 10/10 album from an incredible Irish act. Far more satisfying than a pint

[Saint Sister @Saint_Sister_]

We are number 7 in Ireland!

Help us finish the week with a top 5 record by buying our album on Itunes for a fiver. If you’ve ever thought of buying us a pint after a gig, please consider doing this instead. The next one is on us!! Ps. The charts close at midnight on Thursday. Xx

Thrilled to have accepted a faculty position at Trinity College Dublin, starting in July 2021! Currently looking for grad students to join my lab (1xPhD and 1xMSc-by-Research from Sep 2021). Please share and contact me if interested

[Michael Auli @MichaelAuli]

Today we are announcing our work on building speech recognition models without any labeled data! wav2vec-U rivals some of the best supervised systems from only two years ago.

Thanks to @ElliotMurphy91 for a nice piece on our newly published study

[Michael Broderick @MBroderick8]

Big thanks to @edmundlalor @diliberg @4J4nderson and Adria Rofes for all their hard work. Thanks as well to @IrishResearch and @scienceirel for supporting this research

[Michael Broderick @MBroderick8]

Our paper investigating the processing of natural continuous speech in older and younger adults is now available in @SciReports https://t.co/xZfFlfWyGC

We model words in an audiobook based on 1) their semantic relatedness to their neighbors and 2) their in-context surprisal.

[Michael Broderick @MBroderick8]

Delighted to share the final study from my PhD, now available on @biorxiv_neursci. See @edmundlalor for a nice summary. Many thanks to all involved!

[Michael Broderick @MBroderick8]

I really didn’t think 4 years ago that I’d be defending my thesis in my slippers! Nonetheless I’m happy to announce that I’ve been awarded my PhD today

[Edmund Lalor @edmundlalor]

Congrats to @MBroderick8 on a fantastic PhD defence today!! Thanks also to @DrMattDavis and @whelanlabTCD for a stimulating exam. And to @BuckleyLabTCD for chairing and @ReillyRichardB, @IrishResearch and @scienceirel for support. Congratulations Dr. Broderick! #nocorrections 🍾

[Michael Broderick @MBroderick8]

This Friday at 1pm (8am EST), I'll be giving a talk as part of my PhD defense. All are welcome, HMU for the zoom link

[Edmund Lalor @edmundlalor]

Want to take your mind off things by looking forward to some interesting science next week? Consider attending @MBroderick8's PhD defence (sic) on zoom! DM me or Michael for the link...
