I'm planning a tweetorial on why you should be wary of reports associating candidate genes with neuroimaging measures in modest samples. In the meantime, reupping this cautionary tale from our recent work on common DNA variants of FOXP2: jneurosci.org/content/39/44/…

Toward Robust Functional Neuroimaging Genetics of Cognition

A commonly held assumption in cognitive neuroscience is that, because measures of human brain function are closer to underlying biology than distal indices of behavior/cognition, they hold more...

Our cautionary tale about functional neuroimaging genetics of language is a featured article in this week's Journal of Neuroscience @SfNJournals. Here's a thread that breaks down the story. 1/9 jneurosci.org/content/39/44/…

How do blind individuals learn about the visual appearance of animals? Sighted people’s descriptions of animals are an obvious source. In a new PNAS letter however, Ostarek, @JvParidon & Montero-Melis show that such descriptions can be quite misleading. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1912302…

Our paper finally out: the ability to generate hierarchies in vision shares neural and cognitive resources with language, and posterior middle temporal cortex seems central for this ability. academic.oup.com/brain/artic…

Recursive hierarchical embedding in vision is impaired by posterior middle temporal gyrus lesions

Hierarchical structures are central to language, music and complex actions. Martins et al. demonstrate that the ability to represent visuospatial hierarchi

Our work showing robust non-replication of an often cited prior finding in neuroimaging genetics is finally 'in press'. Will appear in same journal that published the original study. Thanks to wonderful colleagues @julia_udden @ev_fedorenko @AnnikaHulten et al. Watch this space.

Do domain-general executive resources support core linguistic computations, like inhibiting irrelevant meanings or parses, keeping representations active in working memory, or predicting upcoming elements? It seems NO is the answer: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… 1/3

All the interaction we love at the #snlmtg19 needs to weighed against the carbon footprint 🐾 of the meeting. Great idea to form a climate comittee! 🌲 I’m willing to join. ✋🏻

Brennans approach is really promising and the RNNG has interesting features such as both stack and buffer. Thank you and congrats! #snlmtg19

On my way to #snlmtg19 in Helsinki 👋🏻 🇫🇮 Will be taking the overnight ferry on the way back. Small steps 🌱 with climate in mind.

We know so much about cognitive processes underlying skilled reading in literate people & how children learn to read. Why is educational policy/practice plagued by debates over how to teach this? Essential article by @annecastles @Kathy_Rastle @ReadOxford: tes.com/magazine/article/cea…

Ceasefire in the reading wars

Competing theories abound about the best ways to teach children to read, but can psychological science finally bring about an educational entente where conflict and misunderstanding have reigned?...

It took a decade, but "the case of the missing heritability" is solved! Rare variants save the day in this cool whole genome sequencing study of >21,000 people from Peter Visscher & co. Read the @biorxivpreprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
