For those interested in the interplay between grammar and the expression of emotions, look at this workshop happening today, scheduling also my talk on pragmatics and emotional language in schizophrenia ⬇️ Meet link meet.google.com/ghg-tqri-fen
Looking forward to meeting great minds in Aarhus next week! I will talk about recent findings from the #PROMENADE ERCCog grant on metaphor processing (below old picture but same energy🙂) #NEPLab
Replying to @interact_minds
Tuesday, Nov 12, 11am, we're pleased to have Prof @VBambini, University School for Advanced Studies IUSS in Pavia, presenting:
The multimodality of metaphor processing and decay
Both talks are open to anyone + lunch and coffee is on us! See you there!

Kudos to my collaborator @SaraLago14 for making this possible! 🎉 This study follows a research line in which we are trying to unveil the (often forgotten) role of prestimulus activity and how it can be relevant for understanding Predictive Processing.
New MEG study led by @giorgioarcara mdpi.com/2076-3425/14/10/101… In a (literal & metaphorical) sentence comprehension task, we found that prestimulus alpha in TPJ modulates poststimulus activations in core linguistic areas. Key finding for predictive processing in language! #NEPLab

The preprint of the leading paper I talked about in Venice at #XPRAGit2024 is finally online: osf.io/preprints/osf/hvgb7
Prof. Jakub Szymanik delivered an interesting keynote at #XPRAGit2024 in Venice! His talk explored the complexities of quantifier meanings & individual differences in interpretation.

I'm so happy to share our new paper published on #JML, which is the product of an amazing collaboration with @PennyPexman and @ejmuraki (with @VBambini and @lucabischetti #NEPLab) 🎊🎉

It’s often reported that autistic adults have higher pitched voices than NT. We replicate this for men, but also find that autistic women have lower pitched voices than NT ones. This asymmetric difference could be due to lower gender stereotypes in autism journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

#ESLP2024 brought some great talks and remarkable keynote speakers (but also a lot of mental imagery!), so glad I had the opportunity to be there and present our work to the amazing embodied language community! @bll_berlin #embodiment #NEPLab – at Berlin, Germany
