Other speakers for the session were Anil Seth, Felipe De Brigard, and Anna Ciaunica, and the panel was moderated by Holly Taylor.

Lab members attended and presented at the 17th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language Meeting, held at Gallaudet University in Washington DC: 

Tom Hansen, Anthony Yacovone, Samer Nour Eddine, and Gina Kuperberg presented a poster, "ottom-up and top-down propagation of residual information across the left fronto-temporal cortex during sentence comprehension: Converging evidence from M/EEG and predictive coding simulations, see Abstract and Poster.

Anthony Yacovone, Samer Nour Eddine, Tom Hansen, and Gina Kuperberg presented a poster, "Late Frontal Positivities during self-paced reading are sensitive to lexical predictability, not misprediction: Evidence from EEG and Predictive Coding simulations," see Abstract and Poster.

Welcome to Aileen (Xiaorong) Guo, who is joining our lab as a Research Technologist through MGH. Aileen graduated from Tufts University in 2025 with a Psychology degree (Cognitive and Brain Sciences major) and minors in Computer Science as well as in Linguistics. During her time at Tufts, Aileen was an undergrad RA in our lab, working on several projects, assisting with MEG data preprocessing, preparing speech transcripts for LLMs, and BERTopic topic modeling. She will be continuing to work on these projects as a Research Tech.
