Cracking the brain functional/structural bases of auditory encoding, speech, language(-learning) and its dysfunction.
In Sep I gave a talk on Computational insights into the brain and language at the ima.or.at/en/projekt/r... symposium on the origins of AI, hosted by IMA (The Institute for Media Archeology) in St. Pölten (Austria, video available here: lnkd.in/d-vSpAhD

Delighted to have the Version of Record of our work published by @elife.bsky.social. Please take a look at how we answered the question of whether the auditory cortex accommodates multilingual phonological experience (spoiler: it does, and very interestingly so!) 🗣️👂🧠
🚨Our paper with @brainlanglab.bsky.social on how multilingual phonology shapes the auditory cortex is out in @elife.bsky.social : elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... 🚨 Loved the process and looking forward to tackling the reviews out in the open!

I had the pleasure of speaking at this month's CO-AIR webinar, where we discussed our review on Dyslexia in Bilinguals.
It was a fun talk with great questions afterwards!
A big thank you to everyone who attended and if you missed it, you can watch the recording👇
