New paper together with Miguel Rubianes et al on the effect of subliminal processing of facial information on syntactic processing! And more coming soon! 😁

⚠️New paper out! Want to get a quick response to your question? Use a 🫶 hand gesture 🤏to depict what you're talking about! With Linda Drijvers and Judith Holler, we show that gestures speed up responses to questions.

My first PhD project is now out as a full paper in Cognitive Science (with more data and analyses)!💃 We found that hand gestures that depict semantic information typically start before their corresponding information in speech, giving them 'predictive potential' (summary below).

🚨PREPRINT🚨 How do manual gestures influence language comprehension? Here, we shed light on beat gestures: up-and-down hand movements that typically accompany prosodic stress in conversation.

How do bodily signals, eg., co-speech hand gestures play into the processes of prediction & fast responding in speaker turns? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co… Corpus study shows hand gestures to semantic information start before corresponding speech information ->gestures for prediction?

End of an era! Celebrating the NBL Grand Finale 🎉🎆🍾✨❣️

Happy to share that this project is finally out! We (w/ Jan Mathijs Schoffelen, Peter Hagoort and Linda Drijvers) investigated attention and audiovisual integration during multimodal communication, using rapid invisible frequency tagging (RIFT) and MEG Communicative Brain lab

Looking for participants for a short ( less than 10min) survey! Autism often comes with various hypo- and hyper-sensitive sensory experiences. My student is looking into sound/listening experience, both from autistic (self- or clinical-dx) and non-autistic individuals 👇

New blog post!

Ann-Katrin Ohlerth tells us how tumors force the brain to reorganize: important functions can be moved to a new brain area to stay out of the danger zone!
