Thrilled to be at #ohbm presenting my latest work with @FlorAssaneo @davidpoeppel and F.Mantegna as well as our youngest lab member! Drop by poster #1055 to chat. Plus my new lab at @Georgetown is currently offering two fully funded postdoc positions🔥Come see me or message me

Get in touch if you want to do a PhD with me! Potential projects include (but not limited to): - Individual differences in brain plasticity (in blindness and deafness) - Cognitive and motor representations of actions (in people born without hands)

Also super grateful for the opportunity to share our work on global motor inhibition responses preceding stuttered speech, wonderfully presented by Dr. Eric Jackson! Way to go @DrJacksonNYU! #SNL2022

Very proud of Francesco Mantegna, here presenting our very cool and promising results on functional connectivity pre and post imagined speech production @SNLmtg #SNL2022

I *promise* to make a (short) thread asap about our very soon-to-be submitted speech imagery paper #SNL2022

Excited to share our latest preprint on the neural bases of stuttered speech! Thanks @GrahamFlick @FlorAssaneo @liinapy @davidpoeppel and @DrJacksonNYU for the great work! Short 🧵​​doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.02.5…

9. Remarkably, whether speech will be stuttered or fluent could be predicted from participants' beta power in the R-preSMA on a trial-by-trial basis.

10. This is by far the largest (N=29) and most balanced study on the neural substrates of stuttered speech to date. (Big thanks to all those who participated!) If you’d like to learn more about the work, please check out the paper!
