📢 New preprint alert 📄 A Perspective on whether internal bodily rhythms, such as breathing and heartbeat, shape face-to-face communication. Not just the visible body in language, but the internal body that regulates how we listen, speak, and interact. Feedback welcome! 🔗 lnkd.in/exUQwdkt
Last lab pic taken a couple of days ago. Soon many of us will be gradually leaving for new destinations. After 3 years as a PhD student and 5 as a postdoc, I have now left the Department of Developmental Psychology and Socialization at the University of Padova and will soon begin a new adventure...
Super happy to have had the chance of organizing this symposium for the 15th International Conference on Cognitive Neuroscience in Porto together with these amazing scientists but most importantly amazing people #ICON25
🧠 Newly out: Paper-with-a-way-too-long-name-for-social-media! How does the brain turn words into sentences? We tracked words in participants' brains while they produced sentences, and found some unexpectedly neat patterns. 🧵1/9 rdcu.be/epA1J in @commspsychol.nature.com
Decoding words during sentence production with ECoG reveals syntactic role encoding and structure-dependent temporal dynamics
Communications Psychology - Using electrical recordings taken from the surface of the brain, researchers decode what words neurosurgical patients are saying and show that the brain plans words in a...

Happy to have been selected among the winners of the @gorillapsych.bsky.social Language & Linguistics Research Grant! I will implement an online study on predictive speech comprehension/production and adverse listening conditions in deaf people with cochlear implant 🦻🗣️
Yesterday I presented EEG time-frequency and ERP data on predictive processing during audiovisual speech comprehension in deaf cochlear implant users at the XVII International Symposium of Psycholinguistics in Barcelona
The lab is in Barcelona for the XVII International Symposium of Psycholinguistics (ISP)! 🎉 @giuliacalignano.bsky.social @annalorenzoni.bsky.social @giorgiopiazza.bsky.social
Next week I'll talk @Psicostat about our recent experience in publishing a commentary as early career researchers. Aim: foster a collective discussion on how best to approach this by ensuring fair albeit solid criticism of published science 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.co... @giuliacalignano.bsky.social
Psicostat@psicostat.bsky.social · last yr.We’re excited to share our April meeting! 🎉 Join us on April 4th for a talk with Simone Gastaldon on "Reanalyzing Published Science: The Power and Perils of Commentary Articles as an Early Career Researcher". 👥📢 Don’t miss our next meetings and subscribe to the mailing list!
Data without discussion is dead data 🧐 @simonegastaldon.bsky.social & I think #LinguisticAlignment needs #OpenScience & #multiverse debate! 🔥 Our re-analysis goes beyond the #pvalue to #collectively build solid #theory & valid #measurement in #cognitive #sciences 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...
My symposium proposal titled "The Body Whispering To The Ear: How Self And Others' Bodily Signals Affect Auditory And Speech Processing" has been accepted for the XV International Conference on Cognitive Neuroscience (ICON 2025), to be held in Porto in September!
Extremely positive news about my #MSCA application. Can't wait to start my project FlexyRhythm at @bcbl.bsky.social with @nicolaml.bsky.social (and secondment at @dondersinst.bsky.social with @vipiai.bsky.social). So happy to have the chance to work with such wonderful people!
🚨📝New preprint‼️ In this fMRI study (N=37) we compare the production and comprehension of words, and observe that the same phoneme-specific sensorimotor networks are activated when speaking and listening to language! A short 🧵: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Congruent brain signatures specific to phonology in fronto-temporal cortex during language production and understanding.
In this fMRI study we investigated whether language production and understanding recruit the same phoneme-specific networks. We did so by comparing the brain responses to different phoneme categories ...

For those who missed it (had posted on X): new paper with @nicolaml.bsky.social, Mikel Lizarazu and Pierpaolo Busan on cortical tracking of speech in adults who stutter in JSLHR pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...
To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). #language #linguistics #science #academia
The revised version of our commentary and re-analysis is online: doi.org/10.31234/osf... Hope this can be of use to researchers working on alignment and to ECRs interested in Open Science approaches. #psycholinguistics #alignment #openscience #commentary #reanalysis
