111 Krieger Hall 3400 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD, United StatesDo contemporary, machine-executable models (aka digital twins) of the primate ventral visual system unlock the ability to non-invasively, beneficially modulate high level brain states?
Brown Bag Talk: Jane Li & Alan Zhou
Krieger 111 @ 3400 N Charles St Baltimore, MD, United StatesRNNs too expressive to properly learn local phonological patterns? Although recurrent neural networks with long short-term memory mechanisms (LSTMs) can learn many existing phonological patterns, they vastly overgenerate. This raises questions about whether LSTMs are suitable models for understanding how humans learn phonology, similar to phonological theories that overgenerate. In this work, we examine whether […]

Colloquium: Molly Dillon
111 Krieger Hall 3400 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD, United StatesWho, what, where... how? Abstract: Humans are the best knowers and learners of the natural world. From infancy, we are sensitive to the who, what, and where in everyday life… but how? In this talk, I will focus on how our intuitive cognitive biases interact with language to support our learning of abstract concepts. In particular, […]
Colloquium: Marlene Behrmann
Hodson Hall 210 3400 N Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland, United StatesThe development, hemispheric organization, and plasticity of high-level vision Adults recognize complex visual inputs, such as faces and words, with remarkable speed, accuracy and ease, but a full understanding of these abilities is still lacking. Much prior research has favoured a binary separation of faces and words, with the right hemisphere specialized for the representation […]
Early Career Colloquium: Greta Tuckute
Krieger 111 Baltimore, MD, United StatesOrganizing Dimensions of Language in the Brain How does the human brain encode the meaning of a sentence? I will focus on two studies investigating this question. The first study investigates what kinds of linguistic input the human fronto-temporal language network is most responsive to. By leveraging large language models to identify sentences that maximally […]
Early Career Colloquium: Gérard Avelino
Krieger 111 @ 3400 N Charles St Baltimore, MD, United StatesThe case of Tagalog Case Abstract: In this talk, I revisit the longstanding debate on the nature of the Philippine-type morphosyntactic alignment system, often also referred to as "Austronesian voice". This system is typologically unique in tracking a privileged argument (the "pivot") through affixes on the verb rather than relying solely on nominal case marking […]
