π£οΈππ°π§ : Language regions are hubs that aren't fixed. They are spatiotemporally dynamic, connecting w/ 44% of peripheral brain regions at any moment. These are averaged and thresholded away, leaving 'the language network' ONLY in the aggregate over time: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/β¦

New preprint led by @thelablab:
Our meta-analysis of 579 neuroimaging studies finds little evidence for a single, fixed neural core of consciousness. Instead, the findings support distributed systems that combine differently depending on context.

π Neuroimaging dataset released!
Iβm happy to share that our Naturalistic Neuroimaging Database (NNDb3T+) is now publicly available! NNDb3T+ captures multimodal brain activity in a naturalistic setting with 40 participants and over 160 hours of scanning!
ISC maps attached :)

Speech as a psychedelic 'biomarker'? π§΅
In our new preprint, we analysed voice journals before & after 5-MeO-DMT using NLP + acoustic features.

Our multimodal transformer tool for automating word-concreteness ratings is published today
π C-ratings are used in research across Cognitive Science
πΆ They take time and money to collect
βοΈ Automation solves this + we get in-context ratings for free!

We think of language as a transparent tool for expressing thoughts & describing reality. Philosophers agree that βthe map is not the territoryβ. Recent thinkers argue that language plays a fundamental role in shaping our perception of the world & of self. iai.tv/articles/language-creβ¦

I also see the words fall, they come from up above, as if they were little luminous objects falling from the sky, the language falls on the sacred table, falls on my body, then with me hands, I catch word after word
