Some personal news: I'm excited to announce I'm joining #Google as a Senior Quant UXR!

Deeply thankful for my time in academia and for every person in my network who has helped and blessed me along the way. I'm grateful incredibly excited for this new opportunity at Google.

I’m excited to share one of two papers accepted to #Interspeech2025! @interspeech.bsky.social

“Spectrotemporal Modulation: Efficient & Interpretable Feature Representation for Classifying Speech, Music & Environmental Sounds”
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.23509
#NeuroInspiredML #AudioAI

Audio DNNs: impressive performance on machine listening tasks. But most representations are computationally costly & uninterpretable. Let's try something different:

neuroscience x urban design? fascinating

why DO babies dance? when do they start dancing? what counts as dancing, anyway (and how can we measure it)? out online today in CDPS, @lkcirelli.bsky.social and i attempt to integrate what is known about the development of dance

Important and painful

Our new preprint is now on bioRxiv!
'Visual adaptation stronger at horizontal than vertical meridian: Linking performance with V1 cortical surface area'
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@interspeech.bsky.social just changed its rebuttal period to April 4-11, which overlaps with #ICASSP.

Given the overlap in research communities, I believe many researchers who submitted to #Interspeech2025 will also be attending #ICASSP2025. Could it be at least a week later?

Excited to share that our paper, "Multimodal Machine Learning Can Predict Videoconference Fluidity and Enjoyment," has been accepted for an **oral presentation** at #ICASSP! ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/108...

Excited to kick off 2025 with new research in #MachineLearning, #Decoding, #MusicNeuroscience! Our paper, “Temporally Dissociable Neural Representations of Pitch Height and Chroma”, now in

I missed the perfect chance to name my new paper ‘Giant Steps.’ I won't be able to rest in peace. @davidpoeppel.bsky.social @xiangbin-teng.bsky.social

I'm very happy that this paper by Francecso Mantegna (now Oxford) and Joan Orpella (now Georgetown) is published. Congrats for some heroic data wrangling!

Unusual experiment (mental imagery of speech planning+MEG) shows cool perspective on speech production

Start 2025 with some music neuroscience reading? Temporally dissociable neural representations of pitch height and chroma osf.io/preprints/ps... @candrew123 & me & @TengXB

Excited to share my first #Python package, audioset-strong-download, now on #PyPI!
It streamlines downloading Google’s #AudioSet for #audio #ML & #AI research. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

This season of gratitude, I’m especially thankful to be featured as one of four NYU researchers on The Academic Minute and highlighted in the Postdoc Spotlight by the New York University Office of Postdoctoral Affairs weekly newsletter.

Migrating from Twitter using github.com/marcomaroni-... Let's see how nicely it works.😀

The Center for Data Science at NYU is looking for faculty fellows! These are two year independent research positions with a teaching component. Applications from any CDS relevant research topic are welcome! For full consideration submit by Nov 28. Come be my colleague! #neurojobs #MLsky #compneuro

Hello, blue sky!
