🌟NEW PREPRINT🌟
🤖-based🧠models are all the rage!
But,
- How do we interpret 🧠if 🤖are SO un-interpretable?
- How do we _test_ if🤖are good models of 🧠? (No, your prediction score is NOT the answer)
Our new paper (co-lead @vvobot) shows you how!

🚨New paper!🚨My first (co)first-authored paper is now out in @NatureHumBehav! We show that neural populations in the language network differ in the size of their temporal receptive windows rdcu.be/dR0sz co-led w/ @tamaregev 1/ 🧵

looking forward to discussing ways to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion at our "diversity lunch" @CogCompNeuro! 12-1.30pm today. everyone welcome and encouraged to join! thank you to my co-hosts @KriesJill and @shaileeejain
Hello #CCN2024 @CogCompNeuro ! I will be presenting my new postdoc work on **speech encoding in over 1500 single neurons in the human 🧠**, probed using 🤖.
Talk: Contributed Talks 2, Thurs 10:30
Poster: B128, Thurs 13:30
Please reach out if you’d like to chat about 🤖🧠💬!
Checkout our new work on the relationship between encoding models and language localizers, led by @EyasAyesh!

Around to chat! 🤖🧠💬
Super excited for #CCN2024 today! Looking forward to presenting the work we’ve done exploring the relationship between language-based encoding models and the language network in the brain. Pass by poster A94 to find out what we discovered! @CogCompNeuro

Happy to see this work led by @zaidzada_ now published in @NeuroCellPress! We use LLM embeddings to capture word-by-word linguistic content transmitted from the speaker's brain to the listener's brain in real-time, face-to-face conversations: cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

Last Saturday, I had the amazing opportunity to present my thesis work at the #CogSci2024! It was an honor to share the stage with 6 other fantastic Glushko Dissertation Prize winners: @Tianwei_Gong @DaeHoulihan @shaileeejain @RTomMcCoy @HunterSchone & Matthias Grabenhorst.
Excited to attend (my first) #CogSci2024 ! I will be giving a **talk on my PhD dissertation this Saturday**
Please reach out if you’d like to chat about 🧠🤖💬 or navigating science and academia as an immigrant/PoC! My DMs are open!
So honored to be awarded the Glushko CogSci dissertation award, along with 6 amazing scientists!
I am grateful to my advisor
@alex_ander
and wonderful collaborators for shaping my research.
See you in the Netherlands for a talk on my dissertation at CogSci2024! 🤖🧠💬
