New manuscript from the lab! What is the neural code for reading? Through simulations of convolutional neural networks, we propose a new hypothesis on how, in literate brains, neurons encode written letters and their relative positions within the word. arxiv.org/abs/2403.06159
Learning to read places a strong challenge on the visual system. Years of expertise lead to a remarkable capacity to separate highly similar letters and encode their relative positions, thus...
Out now in Brain! Using direct cortical stimulation in 49 patients we show distinct regions of ventral temporal cortex that selectively knock out the ability to read or name. Word-selective VWFA can causally and reliably be isolated from other visual language functions. doi.org/10.1093/brai...
Test your math knowledge! Our new experiment evaluates your knowledge of the math vocabulary in English. We'd like to test lots of participants, regardless of their education level. Click on the link below, the test only takes about 15 minutes. Thanks! neurospin-data.cea.fr/exp/mathssim...
