Cognitive neuroscience; knowledge representation; meaning of words and things

A very pleasant collaboration with Shan Yu team ❤️

[Nature Computational Science @NatComputSci]

📢Out now! @yanchaobi and colleagues present a framework that models how abstract concepts emerge from sensory experience. https://t.co/8fnTGHg25n

[Yanchao Bi @YanchaoBi]

@BevilConway Love this study. So thoughtfully done and Super important findings to frame our thinking.

[Tim Behrens @behrenstimb]

Hope you'll forgive a quick thread as I take over as the new EiC of @eLife

[Communications Psychology @CommsPsychol]

Through a cross-cultural and two historical studies, Fu et al. examined the relationship between pathogen severity & semantic space. They observed that pathogen stress was associated with sensorially oriented semantic processing. @YanchaoBi @ridiculousze

I would want to work with Jorge!

[Jorge Almeida @JAlmeidaCogNeur]

I am looking for a Post-Doctoral Researcher (2 to 3 year contract) interested in object recognition, and in exploring object shape, texture, material, and/or object-related action, using fMRI decoding and multivariate approaches. Send me an email [email protected]

[PLOS Biology @PLOSBiology]

Storing #color info without language? @yanchaobi &co show that "memory color" shares neural representations with #ColorPerception in #macaques, so humans' sensory-derived knowledge representation is conserved in species without language #PLOSBiology https://t.co/afD49QEh4s

And also they were able to mold objects that they have very limited tactile experience with such as a buttefly. Showcases how the brain put pieces together from various types of information inputs such as multiple modal sensory and language experiences and make inferences

[Yanchao Bi @YanchaoBi]

Sharing-We looked at object shape representation without vision by asking congenitally blind individuals to do molding with play-doh, draw, and generate verbal features. Interesting differences with sighted for even very familiar objects https://t.co/cmUQDer8Km

Data from the first year of our new approach to publishing!! In brief, we are still seeing the same quantity and caliber of papers. But the process feels much more constructive. For Editors, and for authors.

[Roberto Bottini @BottiniRob]

Hey there! I'm looking for a postdoctoral-level researcher willing to participate to this call (https://t.co/c1fnhynVVE). Expert on ML to work on ML+eyemovements in clinical/health setting; Expert in NLP for LLM-Brain alignment.

[Yanchao Bi @YanchaoBi]

Great opportunity

[Laurel Buxbaum @LaurelBuxbaum]

Happy to announce an open #postdoc position in cognitive-motor #neuroscience to work with me and @sskphdpt on several funded projects. No need for US citizenship. See ad: https://t.co/Axd014ybSE Please re-post!

[Marius Peelen @MariusPeelen]

In this paper, Paul Downing and I argue, by reviewing example studies, that pattern analysis of neuroimaging data can be used to test cognitive theories. @DondersInst

[Bevil Conway @BevilConway]

Open postdoc positions at NEI! Great colleagues. Excellent resources. Supportive place to do fun & risky science on the neural & behavioral mechanisms that support vision & cognition, in NHPs & humans. Happy to answer informal inquiries. email me! Bevil [at] n i h [dot] g o v

Finally out - https://t.co/5kO6E8gY53!
V1 (left-lateralized) is positively activated for spoken language, and prefers it to inverted speech. In the SIGHTED brain.
That was a surprise to us (@seygreena , Xiaoying Wang, Elissa Newport and @YanchaoBi)

[Marius Peelen @MariusPeelen]

New paper out in Cerebral Cortex with @TaliaBrandman

In this study, we use MEG decoding to show that objects sharpen scene representations

Simple shape feature computation across modalities: convergence and divergence between the ventral and dorsal visual streams https://t.co/drNAPD9NeG "mid-level shape features are represented in a modality-independent manner in both the ventral and dorsal streams"
