Finally out! 👇
The evolution of human music in light of increased prosocial behavior

👇
• changes in aggression management underlay the cultural sophistication of both music and language
• continuity of music with animal calls through “personal songs”

Every year, @ProjectCETI organizes the Decoding Communication in Nonhuman Species workshop that brings together scientists working on nonhuman communication and conservation.
This year's program included talks on dolphins, human babies, LLMs, plants, emergent communication, and of course whales.
All the amazing talks and discussions from the 3rd workshop (2024) are available! @SimonsInstitute

I think this piece points to the biggest challange we have in academia @maxplanckpress
The first paper with data from our WP Aptitude is out!
▫️34 linguistic, cognitive, domain-specific variables
▫️Relationship explored using Exploratory graph analysis
As @RaphaelBerthele put it, not exactly a short read but we hope you'll enjoy it!
👉doi.org/10.1016/j.brainres.2…
The work was lead by Alessandra Rampinini and @irene_balboni together with Narly Golestani and @RaphaelBerthele
With the support of @NCCR_Language @IdpIfm_FR
Check out our recent work on how speech prosody assists comprehension in the brain, beautiful work by Giulio Degano, funded by @NCCR_Language
📜Prosody helps our brain understand sentence structure, according to new research from NCCR researchers @brain_lang_lab @UNIGEnews. Article available here: nature.com/articles/s42003-0…

thank you so much for the wonderful interview! it was great to discuss my Neuropixels research and its importance for language science 🧠👂✨
NEW EPISODE OUT!!!!
@anjie_cao chats with @GwilliamsL on understanding speech in the brain through the use of Neuropixels, tiny needles that were directly placed on human brain!
