Our dear peeps, this account is going to close. Our work should feed understanding, compassion and commonality, and this platform is doing quite the opposite. You can keep following our work here, bsky.app/profile/davidecrepa…. Peace&love everyone!

New work from the lab, peeps -- sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. With the wonderful Jon Carr, we find that readers target words where they expect to minimize uncertainty. Postprint, data and code freely available from Jon's website -- joncarr.net/#publications

We’ve been lucky enough to have you as our neighbor for a few years. Among many other things, we learned that criticism is a powerful growth factor, when it’s kind. Thanks John!
SISSA mourns the loss of Professor John Nicholls – neuroscientist, colleague, mentor and friend – who passed away on July 13, 2023. His profound contributions to neurobiology and unwavering dedication to our university for over 20 years will forever be treasured.

New work from the lab, peeps! A quick blitz out of language 🥷. We show that the ventral stream stores shape information in both sighted and blind ➡️ independently of visual experience. Couldn’t resist looking into the semantic system; as always, that was quite more elusive 😜

Our latest preprint is now out -- psyarxiv.com/e5v3y/. We used Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation #fpvs and #MEG to study the sensitivity of the reading brain to form and meaning regularities. Led by the marvellous @mararosade, in collab with @BottiniRob.

It’s a bit sad to see you go, girls, but we’re proud to have harbored your talents for a while! Irmak Ergin will now pursue her PhD at @StanfordPsych with @GwilliamsL, @s_kenjeeva will join a PhD in CogScie and AI at @TilburgU. Have fun!

It was a fantastic year for our former lab members! In addition to Irmak and Sasha joining wonderful PhD programs, two of our previous postdocs — Jarek Lelonkiewicz and @YamilVidal_arg — got a very prestigious @MSCActions. We’re proud of you guys!

The latest work from the lab is now out -- sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. Led by @LoVignali, in collaboration with @CollignonOlivi1 and @BottiniRob ❤️. Through MEG, we show the timecourse of transmodal/linguistic vs. perceptual info during word processing. Which comes first?

New funding for the lab, yeah! We got a 2-year grant to study statistical learning, reading and the geometry of the orthographic and the semantic space. A new postdoc position will be open soon — contact daboss @CrepaldiDavide if you’re interested!

Doesn’t happen often that someone gets two talks at ACL, and even less often that this someone is a former lab member — congrats @gsarti_, you rock!
Looking forward to presenting @InseqLib and my @AmazonScience internship paper in Toronto this summer! 🥳 Very thankful to all my amazing coauthors for this double #ACL2023NLP acceptance! 🤗
