1/7 Can infants recognise the world around them? 👶🧠 As part of the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published today in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.

thanks @shaileejain.bsky.social 😃

FNR Awards 2025: Outstanding PhD Thesis - Jill Kries YouTube video by FNRLux

I am so honored to have received an Outstanding PhD Thesis award from the Luxembourg National Research Fund @fnr.lu! 🏆

My PhD research was about how language is processed in the brain, with a focus on patients with a language disorder called aphasia 🧠 Find out more➡️ youtu.be/E-Zww-B1jFQ?...

Delighted to share our new paper, now out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New BBS article w/ @lauragwilliams.bsky.social and Hinze Hogendoorn, just accepted! We respond to a thought-provoking article by @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social, and argue that it's premature to conclude that conscious perception is delayed by 350-450ms: bit.ly/4nYNTlb

Neural tracking of natural speech: an effective marker for post-stroke aphasia The study examined brain responses to natural speech, i.e. neural tracking, in post-stroke aphasia. Individuals with aphasia exhibited reduced neural track

🗣️ How strongly speech amplitude fluctuations are encoded in brain activity of people with aphasia holds promise as biomarker! 🧠
