Oh, FIFA is corrupt and extortionate?
The more things change, the more they stay the same. This video was from 4 world cups ago (2014) and it could've been made today!

Now that 32 teams advance to the knockouts there's no Group of Death. There's barely even a Group of Might Be Coming Down With Whatever's Been Going Around

All I want is to see is men draw ping pong balls out of buckets and announce who is in which World Cup group
I realize that's a lot to ask... during the World Cup draw

If you've been asleep all year, you can sum up 2025 pretty well by just looking at the word of the year choices:
6-7 (dictionary.com)
rage bait (Oxford)
parasocial (Cambridge)

I am now up to four different notes-to-self that all say 'figure out what was wrong with these stimuli'.
I still have no idea what was wrong with those stimuli, and these notes sure aren't helping.

A while ago I said 6-7 (in context) to my 13-year-old niece
She said "6-7!"
I was confused
Today I wondered what "6-7" meant
I googled it and saw an article on CNN about it
6-7 is now lame and dead, you're welcome Gen Alpha

In these dark times, this list is a welcome ray of light
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Extra kudos and thanks to all the staff at NIH and NSF and other federal funding agencies for working extra hard in very small windows of opportunity to get grants reviewed and funds released before the attention-addled federal policies change again (on an hourly basis).

New paper from the lab (with undergrad star Isabel Adames and Anya Shorey, Ph.D.)! We explored how perception of musical pitch and timbre is shaped by a wide range of timescales, ranging from a few trials to one's lifetime. Four experiments, lots of analyses, tons of fun, and open access!
Multiple timescales of context influence perceptual sensitivity to common pairings of musical pitch and timbre
Previous studies have established that musical pitch and timbre (specifically, spectral shape) perceptually covary: lower pitches are associated with darker timbres (less higher-frequency energy) and ...

What are your go-to resources for new lab members learning basic (and then not-as-basic) R skills?
Thanks in advance!

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.
This is a major win for public health.

The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care?
1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.

See our work at #ASA188! At 2pSC30, we extended our research on talker normalization. Q#1: Recognizing words is easier for similar-sounding talkers than an equal number of different-sounding talkers; is the same true when labeling pitches from musical instruments? (1/4)

See our work at #ASA188! At 2pSC29, the sizes of spectral contrast effects in speech categorization are very consistent within-listeners and within-frequency. Are they also consistent within-listener and across-frequency (F1, F3, higher frication noise regions)? (1/2)
