How does a speech plan become fluent movement? In Nature Human Behaviour, led by Kumar Duraivel: Intracranial recordings reveal how hierarchical speech plans become continuous motor sequences across planning, articulation, and monitoring networks. doi.org/10.1038/s415... 1/5

Check out two new papers from the lab led by Kumar Duraivel and @zspald.bsky.social !

Last week, Areti Majumdar (2nd year PhD student) presented @jerrytang.bsky.social and colleague’s seminal paper on reconstructing continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings. This 🧵 explores our thoughts and questions.

Our new review paper lead by CNAP PhD Student Jim Zhang and @tobiasegner.bsky.social is now published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews: “Insights into the neural mechanisms supporting cognitive stability and flexibility from human intracranial EEG.” doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... 1/5

Last week, Nanlin Shi (postdoctoral associate) presented T. Lei et al.’s new Nature paper, “Active dissociation of intracortical spiking and high gamma activity,” on whether intracortical HGA reflects local spiking or broader population activity.

And we're live! academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/16459. come be my postdoc! these positions will be primarily supported by my NIH R01 on infant word learning, with a bit of wiggle for some other projects/new ideas/collabs.

Exciting news! I'm starting a 6-month research stay at Duke University with @coganlab.bsky.social, exploring the neural mechanisms of verbal working memory, speech planning, and inner speech. If you are in the area and would like to meet up, feel free to reach out.

Last week, Jim Zhang (4th year PhD student, @DukeBrain ) presented Sina Tafazoli’s paper on building compositional tasks with shared neural subspaces. This 🧵 explores our thoughts (🤍 & ❔)

Great news, excited to have you as a colleague!!

Jorge Morales@jorgemorales.me · 6mo ago

I have news! After 4 fabulous years at Northeastern, this July I will be moving to Duke—with tenure! It’s hard to convey how grateful I am to everyone who has made this possible: from old professors in Mexico and mentors in the US to students, colleagues, and, of course, my amazing wife and family.

We’re hiring! The Suthana Lab @ Duke is looking for a Research Assistant to join our team studying human memory & real-world 🧠 dynamics using wearable tech & intracranial recordings. Apply: careers.duke.edu/job/Durham-C... You can also email suthanalab@duke.edu with CV/questions. Please share!

Soon hiring a lab manager! Looking for someone who is really interested in language neuroscience, who is organised, motivated, a great communicator, and who works well in a research team. Express interest by submitting this form: tinyurl.com/glysn-labman... Reposts appreciated!

New PhD and post-doc job openings! Join me and Prof. Nina Kazanina @ Uni Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in an exciting project on relations and binding in language and vision, explored with cutting-edge neurophysiology (#iEEG and MEG). Full details in the job offer below.

Congratulations to all the award winners! 🎉
