Colloquium: Viridiana Benitez

111 Krieger Hall 3400 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD, United States

Learning words in a bilingual world. ABSTRACT: In the U.S., 1/3 of children hear a language other than English in the home and have the opportunity for bilingual language development. Yet, the mechanisms behind word learning across two languages have not been clearly outlined. In this talk, I will present two lines of work focused […]

Six Dimensions of Dance Cognition. ABSTRACT: There is a growing body of work in philosophy, cognitive science, and neuroscience that tries to better understand the mind by examining it in the context of dance. Such work is often premised on the idea that dance demonstrates important, general, and underappreciated features of human thought. However, existing […]

How much do we know about visual representations? Quantifying the dimensionality gap between DNNs and visual cortex'. Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) can explain a large portion of variance in image-evoked cortical responses by accounting for the highest variance latent dimensions in neural data, such as dimensions corresponding to animacy, aspect ratio, and curvature. However, […]

Modeling shared and variable information encoded in fine-scale cortical topographies.   ABSTRACT: Information is encoded in fine-scale functional topographies that vary from brain to brain. Hyperalignment models information that is shared across brain in a high-dimensional common information space. Hyperalignment transformations project idiosyncratic individual topographies into the common model information space. These transformations contain topographic basis functions, affording […]

Dog, cat, and leash: Difference in processing costs among inflectional allomorphs during speech production. Abstract: We need to generate contextually-appropriate inflections to produce well-formed words and sentences, and a key component of this process is generating the correct allomorph – variant pronunciations of a morpheme. In this project, we examine the processing costs of the English regular […]

The language system in the human brain. ABSTRACT: The goal of my research program is to understand the representations and computations that enable us to share complex thoughts with one another via language, and their neural implementation. A decade ago, I developed a robust new approach to the study of language in the brain based on identifying […]
