A digital CAPTCHA verification window titled "Select all squares with PIPES" against a plain white background. The window contains a 3×3 grid of numbered squares, mixing literal hardware, smoking pipes, and programming syntax.

These captchas just keep getting harder #rstats

Our new preprint is now on bioRxiv: doi.org/10.64898/202...

There’s been a long-standing conflict about the role of angular gyrus in semantic processing: Why is it more active for concrete than abstract semantics? Does it play any role in abstract concepts despite its less activation?(part 1 of 3)

Key points of the review include: cross-language semantic representations converge with more L2 experience (likely process/experience-dependent); includes unimodal + bimodal #multilinguals; evaluation of open code and data across studies to highlight transparency issue in the field #openscience

We reviewed 163 studies (1990–2023) applying #fMRI, #fNIRS, #EEG, and/or #MEG to ask: How is multilingual experience quantified? Which paradigms are used? What do we learn about neural mechanisms of lexico-semantics in multilinguals?
