Early bird registration for the Austrian Society for Psychology (Salzburg, April 9-11th) is coming up! Don’t miss our symposium on ‘Language processing: A high-level skill with limitations’ More info: www.oegps.at/aktuelletagung

In Sep I gave a talk on Computational insights into the brain and language at the ima.or.at/en/projekt/r... symposium on the origins of AI, hosted by IMA (The Institute for Media Archeology) in St. Pölten (Austria, video available here: lnkd.in/d-vSpAhD

📰 new paper! lnkd.in/dYdrvZAz, by @irenebalboni.bsky.social , Alessandra Rampinini, @olgakepinska.bsky.social, @berthele.bsky.social, @nargolestani.bsky.social, @nccrlanguage.bsky.social showing the importance of multimodal approaches for uncovering brain-behaviour relationships

@nargolestani.bsky.social and @vborghesani.bsky.social co-chaired the symposium on ‘The bi-literate brain: behavioural, neural, and genetic insights into recent evolutionary adaptations’ at #ISB15 in Donostia-San Sebastián last week, supported by @nccrlanguage.bsky.social.

What happens when you put experts in multilingualism, genetics, neuroimaging, & animal cognition in the same @isbilingualism.bsky.social panel? @nargolestani.bsky.social and I, supported by @nccrlanguage.bsky.social, took on the challenge and...learned a lot while having a blast!

Are you designing your syllabus? Preparing a teaching statement for the job market? Or do you want to discuss what is missing in teaching materials and manuals? Join @irenebalboni.bsky.social and @vborghesani.bsky.social to talk about teaching Neurobiology of language👇

Irene Balboni@irenebalboni.bsky.social · last yr.

🧠What should a neurobiology of language course look like? Next week (May 27, 18:00 CEST), I’ll co-host with @vborghesani.bsky.social a virtual SNL session on content, tools and strategies for teaching an up-to-date course in 2025. Join us to share ideas!

Version of Record of our work out now in @elife.bsky.social. Please check it out!

Olga Kepinska@olgakepinska.bsky.social · last yr.

Delighted to have the Version of Record of our work published by @elife.bsky.social. Please take a look at how we answered the question of whether the auditory cortex accommodates multilingual phonological experience (spoiler: it does, and very interestingly so!) 🗣️👂🧠

Check out @irenebalboni.bsky.social’s talk at this month’s CO-AIR webinar on Dyslexia in Bilinguals! 🧠📖 A great discussion with insightful questions that sparked even more excitement for this research. 📺 Watch here: coairwebinar.wordpress.com/past-events/ 📄 Read the preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

I had the pleasure of speaking at this month's CO-AIR webinar, where we discussed our review on Dyslexia in Bilinguals. It was a fun talk with great questions afterwards! A big thank you to everyone who attended and if you missed it, you can watch the recording👇 /🧵

Check out our new preprint! "Multilingualism and Working Memory: The Role of Formal vs. Informal Language Learning" by A. Mohammed, A. Rampinini, @irenebalboni.bsky.social , R. Berthele, @nargolestani.bsky.social and @olgakepinska.bsky.social ! osf.io/preprints/os...

Today marks a milestone for our #NCCRevolvingLanguage work! Our #openscience language dataset by Alessandra Rampinini, @irenebalboni.bsky.social , @olgakepinska.bsky.social , Raphael Berthele and @nargolestani.bsky.social is out in #SpringerNature #ScientificData 🧠 😍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share our new preprint! 🎉 "Dyslexia in Bilinguals: A PRISMA Systematic Review", led by @irenebalboni.bsky.social , explores challenges and deficits in bilingual dyslexic readers and tasks for effective diagnosis. Check it out 👉https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/jzpx5

annual lab retreat in Vienna last week, it was such a pleasure to (almost) all be in one place for a change!

Very excited to share our paper 📃 on bilingualism, episodic memory and brain anatomy 🧠, in which we offer a novel, mechanistic explanation accounting for differences observed behaviourally and in the brain across the domains of memory and of executive control: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Registration is now open for the virtual TEAM Conference on Language Acquisition and Multilingualism on 16 Jan, 2025! www.team-up.lu.se/team-confere... Speakers include Ifigeneia Dosi, @nargolestani.bsky.social Peter MacIntyre, Christina Gagne, Tom Spalding, and @lauragwilliams.bsky.social

The first paper with data from our WP Aptitude is out! ▫️34 linguistic, cognitive, domain-specific variables ▫️Relationship explored using Exploratory graph analysis Not exactly a short read but we hope you'll enjoy it! 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.br... @nccrlanguage.bsky.social

We spend two great days together with the Geneva chapter of the lab! A lot of amazing and exciting projects in the making 🎉

A new ENIGMA working group will be focusing on the neurobiology of language via brains and genes. Chairs: Pliatsikas (CINN/UoR), Golestani (Geneva), DeLuca (Tromsø), Ullman (Georgetown), Fisher (MPI). For more Information, including on how to contribute: enigma.ini.usc.edu/ongoing/enig...

Congratulations to @olgakepinska.bsky.social for her beautiful work on auditory cortex anatomy and multilingualism, now out in @elife.bsky.social: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...! We are looking forward to improving the paper in the constructive open sphere of science!

🚨Our paper with @brainlanglab.bsky.social on how multilingual phonology shapes the auditory cortex is out in @elife.bsky.social : elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre... 🚨 Loved the process and looking forward to tackling the reviews out in the open!

Hello Bluesky community! We've recently joined, and are eager for fun, fruitful and informative interactions with you!
