If you're at #LOVE2026, check out our poster today! We are sharing some exciting (preliminary) fMRI data from a non-speaking Autistic individual who listened to intact and reverse audio clips in the scanner. We show that we can localize regions sensitive to language processing in this individual!

The CDC amended its website to suggest that vaccines may cause autism. It now declares that experts “ignored” a potential link between infant vaccination and autism, and asserts that its earlier rejection of such a link was not “evidence-based.”

The genetic mystery of why some people develop autism
Genetic factors are thought to play a major role in the development of autism – but for decades what they are has proven elusive. Now scientists are starting to uncover clues.

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness.
On a plane, I want a pilot.
In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence.
Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data.
Ignore it and we all pay the price.

Thrilled to share this work now published in Cerebral Cortex! doi.org/10.1093/cerc...
We apply Greedy State Boundary Search in EEG to identify neural state boundaries and show that the degree of shift, but not their temporal synchrony, predicts memory performance in both older and younger adults.

The amount of information and extra months rent you need to give to potential landlords these days just has to be contributing to the housing crisis. We've given them everything short of the blood of our first born son and they are unsure if we can pay rent that is a 1/3 of our income.

New paper out with @karampbell.bsky.social and Caitlin Mahy! We tested whether associative memory improvements in children aged 8-12 were related to the development of associative binding or attentional control. We had children complete an implicit and explicit associative memory task.
