March 2026 — New OPM-MEG persuasive speech study launched

We have launched a new study using next-generation OPM-MEG to investigate the neural underpinnings of persuasive communication. Two master’s students are joining the project, focusing on ISC/persuasion and event segmentation/β/memory, respectively.

February 2026 — Paper on charismatic speech and neural synchrony submitted to Psychophysiology

Our multi-study MEG paper investigating how charismatic versus flat speech delivery impacts neural synchrony has been submitted to Psychophysiology. The paper examines both theta and gamma ISC signatures of effective communication.

December 2022 — Multiple publications in 2022

The lab had a productive year with publications in Scientific Reports, Molecular Autism, PNAS Nexus, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Clinical Neurophysiology, and Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.
