Where do #color categories come from? It's a very old question. Color is a continuous parameter, yet we categorize it. Since ancient times, there have been 4 consensus "basic" color categories: red, yellow, green, & blue. Are these hard-wired in our brains? 1/

I have just learned about this interesting study which suggests that exaggeration (e.g. making causal claims from correlational data) originate from University press releases, not from Journalists. Good news is, toning down claims did not harm news uptake. bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excited to share new work on the language system! Using a large fMRI dataset (n=772) we comprehensively search for language-selective regions across the brain. w/Aaron Wright, Ben Lipkin, and Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below!👇🧵

Nice! A much more widely distributed language circuit. Always suspected this from some of our data that used language tasks.

New preprint ✨ w/ Olaf Hauk and Matt Lambon Ralph MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Cambridge University St Catharine's College Gates Cambridge The anterior temporal lobe (ATL) seems crucial for both semantic memory and semantic composition. How to make sense of this neuroanatomical alignment? 🧠 🧵

What are the organizing dimensions of language processing? We show that voxel responses are organized along 2 main axes: processing difficulty & meaning abstractness—revealing an interpretable, topographic representational basis for language processing shared across individuals.
