Excited to share Nigel Flower’s new MEG study on neural Sentence Superiority in parallel visual presentation. This work offers insights into how the brain detects & repairs word order errors, w early detection at ~200ms and repair mechanisms at starting at ~350ms SfN Journals

New from Shaonan: This collab w Jeff Binder’s lab links composition theories in Linguistics with the distributed experiential feature model, suggesting phrase composition rules vary both by feature type & formal relation. MEG data at #SNL2024 SNL Annual Meeting! tinyurl.com/3e8w7997

🧠✨ New research! Computational operations in conceptual composition are vital to language theory, yet research remains fragmented across fields. Our study bridges gaps, offering new insights on meaning formation. #Neuroscience #linguistics

Such an important episode and discussion about Masud Husain’s Brain editorial about the administrative mountain that is swallowing science, thank you Stephen Wilson! Listened to this on my first #SNL2024 morning run Brisbane, see you all soon SNL Annual Meeting!!

From a single glance at a brief sentence, like a text or an ad slogan, what aspects of the linguistic representation does your brain detect first? Our new results suggest basic phrase structure, as quickly as 125ms.  At Science Advances by Jacqui Fallon! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

If you didn’t have a chance to join us for the Lunch with a Professor event at #SNL2024 in Brisbane, join me online for a chat about syntax, semantics or career stuff. Bring your own lunch/dinner/snack! Max 5 people. All trainees welcome! SNL Annual Meeting neurolang.org/2024/virtual-a…

Always love the challenge of concise, accessible science communication—thanks NPR for featuring our research on at-a-glance language comprehension (led by Jacqui Fallon & Nigel Flower) on The Academic Minute! Full series incl. other New York University episodes: tiny.cc/0432001

Thrilled to share Aline-Priscillia Messi’s 1st PhD paper on how context shapes meaning in the 🧠! Disambiguated noun/verb stems are neurally organized by syntactic category & context-driven item-specific semantics, not by homonymy or polysemy. SfN Journals tinyurl.com/59amm8j7

New preprint from Graham Flick! During natural reading with eye movements, the left posterior fusiform cortex reflects both fixated and upcoming words in parallel—and distinguishes whether an upcoming word is skipped or fixated. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
