How does attention shape what we perceive—and does this differ in schizophrenia spectrum disorders? Here our new findings: rdcu.be/fr3sm #Schizophrenia #Psychiatry #Neuroscience #Attention #Perception #CognitiveNeuroscience

Very happy that our manuscript with my brilliant collaborators @jamestrujillo.bsky.social and @straubeb.bsky.social is now published @jneurolang.bsky.social. 🥳🥳🥳 Interested in gesture, discourse, fMRI, prediction, computational modeling? This is the paper for you 👇 doi.org/10.1162/NOL....

Discourse context and co-speech gestures jointly shape hierarchical prediction during the processing of a multimodal narrative

Abstract. Understanding one another in daily communication depends on predicting language from prior discourse context and visual signals, such as co-speech gestures. However, it remains unclear how d...

When listening to a story, earlier parts of the story (context) and the speaker's gestures help us predict and understand what they are saying. In a new preprint we show context and gestures have a push-pull synergy on neural response to linguistic information 👇🧵

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

Super happy to announce that our Research Training Group "PIMON" is funded by the @dfg.de ! Starting in October, we will have exciting opportunities for PhD students that want to explore object and material perception & interaction in Gießen @jlugiessen.bsky.social ! Just look at this amazing team!
