A quirky and innovative study that shows a neural mechanism facilitating the self-other distinction in human dyads interacting. Thanks to Manuel Varlet and colleagues for allowing me to be part of this new work. https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.300393507 Sep 2026 15:26 +0000at://did:plc:xusunydmgssjus3ftkkkng3b/app.bsky.feed.post/3muwsymkp2s2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/davidpoeppel.bsky.social/post/3mui6w2n52k2sSpeech production is fast, complicated, cool (when the right thing is said...) Covert speech is a nice trick to study this. If you like speech planning, forward models, efference copies, brains this work is (we hope) helpful to clarify the brain mechs. #neuroskyence https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.253656312301 Sep 2026 19:49 +0000at://did:plc:xusunydmgssjus3ftkkkng3b/app.bsky.feed.post/3mui6w2n52k2shttps://bsky.app/profile/davidpoeppel.bsky.social/post/3mtm3ufljls2sCorrect diagnosis [contains quote post or other embedded content]21 Aug 2026 15:40 +0000at://did:plc:xusunydmgssjus3ftkkkng3b/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtm3ufljls2shttps://bsky.app/profile/davidpoeppel.bsky.social/post/3mtlrrr3aps2oThe Brain Conference on Neural Foundations of Communication: Integrative Approaches Across Species https://www.fens.org/news-activities/fens-and-societies-calendar/meeting-event/the-brain-conference-on-neural-foundations-of-communication-integrative-approaches-across-species Don't forget to register.

Simple, straightforward, impactful message. Prediction a la LLM is nice.
