Wow.... Just wow... A truly magnificent opus. Some one tell Science to open a new category of submission for Scientific Poetry.

🎉New Paper Alert!🎉

Really excited that this collaboration is finally out! It shows that combining oscillatory dynamics with hierarchical predictive frameworks generates speech perception that is robust to temporal distortions: similarly to human behavior and more so than current ASR models.

Nature Computational Science @natcomputsci.nature.com · 12d

📢Out now! Olesia Dogonasheva and colleagues from @neurospeech.bsky.social present a predictive model for speech processing in the auditory cortex. www.nature.com/articles/s43... #compneurosky

Rhythm-based hierarchical predictive computations support acoustic−semantic transformation in speech processing - Nature Computational Science

This study presents a brain rhythm-based inference model (BRyBI) for speech processing in the auditory cortex. BRyBI shows how rhythmic neural activity enables robust speech processing by dynamically predicting context and elucidates mechanistic principles that allow robust speech parsing in the brain.

Paper out with Atser Damsma, Mitchell de Roo, @kbdoelling.bsky.social & Pilou Bazin! Neural synchronisation 🧠 to the beat 🥁 shifts with tempo. We can model this shift with entrainment & evoked models! Do evoked responses explain more than we thought? 💃 Paper: doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

The Pasteur Institute opens its Doctoral Program app. There are 5 projects focused on Hearing and my team is involved two of them!

1) neural oscillatory dynamics in temporal processing of speech

2) Algorithms for speech intelligibility in cochlear implants

DM me if interested!

periodically I look around at the state of the internet and the way it is clearly contributing to making the world worse in so many ways, and I think back to dicking around in a computer lab in the early 00s and how full of promise it all felt, and I feel sad

it didn't have to be this way

@choldgraf.com are there any neuroscience pushes to make computational notebooks an accepted publication format? I love this idea

In a @currentbiology.bsky.social paper earlier this year, led by @laurawesseldijk.bsky.social, we analysed Beethoven’s genome with a polygenic index related to musicality, as a way to communicate limits of genetic predictions at the individual level & the complexity of links between DNA & behaviour:

Notes from Beethoven’s genome

Wesseldijk et al. compare the genomic information collected from Ludwig van Beethoven with population-based datasets used to quantify musical achievement.

There should be an open repository - like bioRxiv, but much more casual - where people can document their failed projects that aren't worth the trouble of trying to publish. A massive graveyard of hypotheses with rich indexing, focusing on methodological choices. #neuroskyence #psychscisky #science
