Spontaneous actions, like spontaneous speech, can we quantify with a practical clinical measure? This is what we came up with @ks_horne @DrPhilipMosley

It was awesome to play a small role in this super cool study led by @ks_horne & @GailARobinson validating a non-verbal task to quantify #apathy in #neurodegeneration Check out this paradigm!

I'm glad to say that my first paper as a postdoc at @LCBS_Lab is now out in JoCN! Check it out to know more about the neural basis of speech errors in healthy participants: direct.mit.edu/jocn/article-…
Neural Correlates of Naturally Occurring Speech Errors during Picture Naming in Healthy Participants

Neural Correlates of Naturally Occurring Speech Errors during Picture Naming in Healthy Participants

Abstract. Most of our knowledge about the neuroanatomy of speech errors comes from lesion-symptom mapping studies in people with aphasia and laboratory paradigms designed to elicit primarily phonol...

Our paper on using Optimal Transport to compare human cortical surfaces was accepted at #NeurIPS22 🥳 We implement a new OT solver (FUGW) to compare human brains although their anatomy and functional activity patterns differ a lot. arxiv.org/abs/2206.09398 github.com/alexisthual/fugw

Had a lot of fun writing this small journal club article for @NatRevPsych about the original 'Flash Lag Effect' paper (Nijhawan, 1994). Also a handy excuse to make my own demo! Full-text link: rdcu.be/cZkFo

The power of voice is undeniable, but for epilepsy patient Karly Jol, it hasn’t come easy. In a Qld first, @Mater is changing the conversation in epilepsy care with speech therapy. Read how it’s changing Karly’s life here: mater.li/3dNsH2E

Really great insights from someone who left from academia to industry and back to academia

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n
