So excited that this paper is finally out (while I'm on mat leave)! This is the culmination of three years of work during my @leverhulme.ac.uk and @newnhamcollege.bsky.social fellowships.

I'm pleased to share this excellent paper from @abbiebradshawphd.bsky.social with @clarepress.bsky.social that presents an active inference account of speech motor control doi.org/10.3758/s134...

Diagram showing a speaker and listener interacting with each other.

The speaker predicts they will say "head", but actually produces "had". The resulting sensory prediction error is minimised by active inference - changing speech movements to correct for this error.

The listener predicts they will hear "head" but hears "had" and performs perceptual inference to minimise their sensory prediction error - updating their predictions during perception.

Exciting paper on genetic influences on speech fluency, out now in @natgenet.nature.com. In a big step forward for the field, genome scans of almost 100,000 people with self-reported stuttering, & 1 million controls, identify 57 associated loci. Great work by @piperbelow.bsky.social & her team.🗣️🧬🧪

Neurophysiological Evidence of Sensory Prediction Errors Driving Speech Sensorimotor Adaptation

The human sensorimotor system has a remarkable ability to learn movements from sensory experience. A prominent example is sensorimotor adaptation, learning that characterizes the sensorimotor system's...

Out now @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, w/ @akalt.bsky.social & @drmattdavis.bsky.social. Are sensory sampling rhythms fixed by intrinsically-determined processes, or do they couple to external structure? Here we highlight the incompatibility between these accounts and propose a resolution [1/6]
