Hot off the press: cell.com/current-biology/ful…. Really enjoyed writing this Dispatch with
@SimonWTownsend for @CurrentBiology, on the recent paper by Boros et al. on canine statistical learning of speech segmentation cues @NCCR_Language @ZNZNeuroscience @UZH_en
Neurolinguistics at the University of Zurich is hiring! Looking for talented and passionate post-docs with solid MEG experience. One for a cross-linguistic project on combinatorial processing, a second with a more flexible remit. 3-4 years, flexible starting dates. Get in touch!
Literacy promotes the development of a functional link between handwriting and phonological processing. Paper out now #JNeurosci @SfNJournals invites us to consider the role of learning to write in tuning speech processing. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.… w/@falk_huettig @DrUttambrainlab
These results highlight importance of considering the role of writing in brain changes linked to the development of literacy as well as the potential impact of the script itself.
Non-#WEIRD science is essential to help adjust the scientific record by probing whether canonical results are truly generalisable. culturalcogsci.org/

#JNeurosci: Hervais-Adelman et al. @UZH_ch found literate individuals, not illiterate individuals, exhibit a functional link between speech sound processing & handwriting, showing learning to write may influence how literate brains represent speech sounds.

🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨
We show that the perceptual report of syllables arises in higher-order non-auditory cortical areas.

How does an infant develop an accent in utero? Thanks to an @snsf_ch project grant @Neuroslamlab, @UZH_en will be using in utero neuroimaging to look into this over the next three years, in collaboration with @AndrasJakabMD, @VolkerDellwo and Prof. Kathleen Wermke
Such a pleasure to be a part of this research!
LookOLook! Finally out, our paper showing how words can trick you into seeing moving figures that aren't even there! Led by Ksenija Slivac, co-supervisors Alexis Hervais-Adelman @NeuroSLAMlab & Peter Hagoort 🤩@MPI_NL @UvA_Humanities @ScientificReports

How does literacy affect brain responses to speech? Being able to read Devanagari does not result in enhanced auditory cortical responses to speech. Time to reconsider conclusions drawn on the basis of alphabetic literacy? with @falk_huettig et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How does literacy affect speech processing? Not by enhancing cortical responses to speech, but by promoting connectivity of acoustic-phonetic and graphomotor cortices. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

On his last day as Rector of the University of Zurich, the Neurolinguistics group thanks Prof. Dr. Michael Hengartner for his invaluable support and belief in our work! All the very best for the future at the ETH Rat! #uzhthankyoumichael
