Eight metrics for automatically quantifying syntactic complexity in speech were compared in terms of how well they predicted age from speech. The authors' novel multi-dimensional methods had the highest performance. https://t.co/HOizVVQMr6

Hillary Clinton explains the Israel-Gaza war, the difference between Hamas and PLO, and what is needed for peace in the region. Take 8 minutes and watch.

הילרי קלינטון נותנת פה הסבר מפורט וחשוב לגזרת ישראל-עזה לציבור האמריקאי. ״ב-6 באוקטובר הייתה הפסקת אש וחמאס שבר אותה״.
״חמאס שם תחמושת במנהרות מתחת לאזרחים ובתי חולים״.
וגם: ״בעלי הציע לפלסטינים להקים מדינה, אם ערפאת לא היה מסרב, המדינה הזאת הייתה חוגגת 23 שנים״.
קחו 8 דקות וצפו.

@ElanaZGolumbic - always a pleasure!! For many future collaborations. 🥂

It was so fun working on this project with the great teams at @GondaBrain BIU and Oldenburg. Spontaneous speech is ummm an amazing window to to real-life language processing and the uh auditory attentional mechanisms they you know require.

Lahav Halevy: On October 7, Young Israeli women were raped by Hamas terrorists.
 Some were kidnapped and taken to Gaza.
 Yet, not a single women or feminist organization around the globe, raised any voice of either criticizing the horrible deeds of the Hamas or >>

Negation exhibits a sustained effect in delayed verification tasks. What does that teach us about linguistic representation in working memory?
(In other words: Our delayed paper is finally out, I hope it has a sustained effect 😉)

@baror_shira No prob. :) Just FYI - the assumption of normality is about the *residuals*, not the data itself. You can test the ANOVA residuals with a qqplot to see how different they are from a normal distribution.

@DannaSPinto @ElanaZGolumbic Congrats!!!

@saluthra Hi Sahil! Great talk and great slams!

Happy to share our new fMRI article on the polarity effect in quantifiers and in adjectives.

[Experimental Brain Research @ExpBrainRes]

Do you prefer tweets with *few* characters or with *a small number* of characters? Apparently, there is a difference. On how the brain processes #negativePolarity in #quantifiers and in #adjectives, see work by @agmon_galit @ISeeAndSee & Isabelle Deschamps https://t.co/vzIPAWttlA

[Galit Agmon @agmon_galit]

Our fMRI-Attention-to-speech paper is available on bioRxiv. Check it out!
It was great working on this with Paz Har-Shai Yahav, @ElanaZGolumbic, and @MichalBS1!

One of things that I find most challenging during covid-lockdown, is dealing with all the competing demands for my attention.
Luckily, we just did some research on how the brain helps us do this!
Check out our new preprint

@Mavidagli major obstacle: fanatics in both sides who don't recognize the right of the other to exist. But #PeaceNow isn't a small movement.
