The Neurobiology of Language department from MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics will be at SNL Annual Meeting with many cool posters! 💬 🧠 Details below ⬇️ #SNL2023

If you're at SNL Annual Meeting come and check out what happens if you play around with PLS analysis and some very cool data!!!

For my newest study we are looking for children and caregivers that interact in NGT!

The IMPRS for Language Sciences is offering 2 PhD Fellowships to work with scientists from MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics CLS Donders Institute Radboud University @[email protected]. Hiring departments are LanguageDevMPI and Language & Genetics. Application deadline: 8 Jan 2024. More info via mpi.nl/imprs-phd-fell…

Happy to share that this project is finally out! We (w/ Jan Mathijs Schoffelen, Peter Hagoort and Linda Drijvers) investigated attention and audiovisual integration during multimodal communication, using rapid invisible frequency tagging (RIFT) and MEG Communicative Brain lab

End of an era! Celebrating the NBL Grand Finale 🎉🎆🍾✨❣️

How do bodily signals, eg., co-speech hand gestures play into the processes of prediction & fast responding in speaker turns? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co… Corpus study shows hand gestures to semantic information start before corresponding speech information ->gestures for prediction?

🚨PREPRINT🚨 How do manual gestures influence language comprehension? Here, we shed light on beat gestures: up-and-down hand movements that typically accompany prosodic stress in conversation. w/ Peter Hagoort Neurobio of Language MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics Donders Institute See: osf.io/preprints/psya… 🧵1/9

My first PhD project is now out as a full paper in Cognitive Science (with more data and analyses)!💃 We found that hand gestures that depict semantic information typically start before their corresponding information in speech, giving them 'predictive potential' (summary below).

⚠️New paper out! Want to get a quick response to your question? Use a 🫶 hand gesture 🤏to depict what you're talking about! With Linda Drijvers and Judith Holler, we show that gestures speed up responses to questions. rb.gy/oow1fi

New paper together with Miguel Rubianes et al on the effect of subliminal processing of facial information on syntactic processing! And more coming soon! 😁

New preprint w/ Cecilia Husta and Antje Meyer: we used RIFT to study the attentional distribution between speech planning and comprehension. Read the exciting results here! Communicative Brain lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy our paper with Judith Holler is now out in Cognition 🎉We show that people can better anticipate when a current speaker will stop talking when they can see them, especially their torso, hands, and arms, suggesting a beneficial role for hand gestures 🖐️ (summary below)

Gestures are usually said to be the kickstarter of language evolution. 🌍 In our new paper, sfuchs Aleksandra Ćwiek, @wimpouw and myself have looked into this 🧐 This has been lots of fun 🥳

📺 Giorgia Meloni, in un videomessaggio trasmesso su LA7 per le elezioni, dice che grazie al suo governo c’è stata di fatto un’inversione di tendenza su economia e lavoro. ❌Non è così: il governo prosegue sulla strada di quelli precedenti. Punto per punto, vediamo perché. 1/8

lo stupore e l’emozione della prima volta, la camicetta nuova, la paura di sbagliare, il diritto di contare che bello il cinema quando fa battere il cuore

We're out and we are about! 🎉🎉🎉 Check out our work on the relationships between cognition, language and domain specific skills. Featuring one of my personal favourite: literacy being a special little thing
