ReMap Lab

🌍 Navigating memory's atlas: where spatial meets semantics, a cognitive journey awaits 🧠.
Lab funded by an #ERCStG to @Lucarinaldi86
Based at @UniPv

Excited to announce that our lab just received a new EEG system! This will open up new possibilities for studying cognitive maps and the brain's spatial/lingustic processing 🧠 @ERC_Research

[ReMap Lab @ReMap_Lab]

Had a fantastic time in 🗽 NY at @Psychonomic_Soc! Inspiring discussions, new ideas, and great connections 🧑‍🔬 With @ERCbravenewword

[ReMap Lab @ReMap_Lab]

Great and inspiring symposium on vector space models of semantic memory with @Daniele__Gatti and Francesca Rodio from the Lab, along with @RBonandrini and @_fsantacroce at @AIPsperimentale in Noto!

Results showed that blind individuals are more sensitive to this semantic index. This means that individuals lacking visual perceptual input exhibit an enhanced reliance on linguistic experiential priors.

👀🧠Does vision (and the absence thereof) shape humans’ reliance on linguistic experience in the organization of semantic knowledge? In short... it does! New study published in PBR offers intriguing insights. With @MarelliMar @Daniele__Gatti

We exploited DSMs to assess whether blind and sighted participants’ performance in a lexical decision task differently relied on semantic neighborhood density—a measure tackling the semantic density of a word with respect to neighbors’ words in its semantic space.

Daniele Gatti presenting new results on spatial-linguistic binding in processing novel words and in navgating novel spaces at @WoProc2024

[ReMap Lab @ReMap_Lab]

Enjoying the #WoProc in Belgrade! Loving the workshops by @MarcoCiapparelli on minicons/LLMs and @aggieerin on the project management for scientific software📃

[ReMap Lab @ReMap_Lab]

🧠🌍New research in collaboration with @MarelliMar showing that temporal and linguistic distances can accurately reflect geographical distances. Interestingly, only linguistic information influences how we judge distances between cities! Full article here: https://t.co/tocZK9t2KQ

🎤Thrilled to welcome @vittoria_vd to the lab! Her expertise in psycholinguistics will be invaluable as we tackle cognitive challenges related to LLMs!

FMG utilizes data-driven computational approaches (but it is flexible enough to also use human-produced ratings) to establish item relationships by leveraging on the similarity between their representations populating a vector space 📐📏

🌟Introducing the False Memory Generator (FMG): an innovative tool that transcends traditional limitations of the DRM paradigm. 🚀 From semantic processes to beyond, FMG opens doors to the study of false memories. With @PetilliMarco1 and @MarelliMar

Engaging and enlightening 2-day meeting in the wonderful Aula Golgi at @unipv delving into language and semantic memory with Fritz Guenther @MarelliMar @CrepaldiDavide @ECatricala @silviaserino1 @fabio_marson @devarda_a & many others

🧐 Check this out! Despite the common belief that our mental representations of the body strongly originate from visual experience, we present evidence for a vision-independent body map extracted from natural language 👂👃🦵🦶✋

This nicely complements our previous findings on how surface-level language statistics capture the representational size of body parts (https://t.co/XsY2pjU3yn) and our work on geographical maps (https://t.co/qP5PrKYa2M)
