Does anyone have or know of a version of Veronica Boyce's software for A-Maze stimuli that works with German?

Fully-funded PhD position in experimental and/or computational psycholinguistics:

tmalsburg.github.io/job_ad_2025_...

Application deadline is August 15.

I'm offering a 3-year PhD position with benefits (1-year extension possible). Research topic open but broadly in incremental sentence comprehension. If you're into eye-tracking, even better! No teaching until Summer 2027, light teaching after that (English). Official ad soon. Please share 🙏

Poster at #AMLaP2025 in Prag. Sebastian Padó and I report a larger-scale evaluation of transformers as cognitive models of morphosyntax processing.

Who else is going?

Weiterhin beschreibt Dieter #Lenzen in einem Gastbeitrag für die FAZ heute, was man als Hochschulleitung tun muss, um in der #ExStra Erfolg zu haben - nämlich: "negative Einflüsse von Gremien zu neutralisieren".

Ich denke mir das nicht aus. #ExitExzellenz

Die @deutschebahn.com informiert mich 2 Tage vorher, dass mein Zug ausfällt. Warum bekomme ich nicht automatisch das Geld für die Reservierung zurück? Warum ist es unmöglich die Reservierung zu stornieren?

What's better for reading research? EyeLink 1000+ or Portable Duo? I know the EyeLink well, but didn't have the chance to work with the Duo.

New paper! We show that eye movements during normal reading (no extra task) are effective at predicting reading comprehension as measured by recall. Both early and late eye-movement measures are key. This research was led by the amazing Diane Mézière.

Will LLM/transformer-based AI ever be able to respond: "Sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question." If not, what's missing?

Hard-earned writing tip: If your paper’s General Discussion is tough to write, it’s often because the Introduction isn’t setting the stage well. Don’t waste your time trying to fix the discussion, work on the intro until the discussion practically writes itself.

Diane Mézière's article "Using eye-tracking measures to predict reading comprehension" is among the top-10 most-cited in Reading Research Quarterly. Congratulations Diane!

A couple of new features in my tool for surprisal experiments with transformer models:

1. Interactive mode for quick ad-hoc experiments.
2. Uses GPU if available.
3. More models supported out of the box
4. Much easier to install and use thanks to uv.
