I'm not sure what I'm calling it. "Troodoneese" sounds weird. TSL for "Troodontid Sign Language?" Though it has verbal components, unlike sign languages for the Deaf.
As you can tell it's spoken by some Troodontids! they're dinosaur-people, based on a real species, but even more intelligent.

RABBiT: Rapidly adaptive BOLD foundation model via brain-tuning for accurate zero-shot and few-shot prediction of speech-elicited responses in the brain
Language understanding in the brain is context-dependent, varying across experimental stimuli and individuals, which makes it difficult to build computational models that generalize across both. This ...

I like how Harry Enten did a slight move in censoring himself by saying, “in the language of Trump, the gulf of America”
The State can chill free speech in a way that is deeply insidious.

Beyond accuracy, we also asked: does RABBiT organize speech and language information in a brain-like way? The answer is “sounds like it does”.
First, it reproduces the classic left-lateralized language network, without being trained on any non-naturalistic experiment.

OK - we disagree, Alex. Fair enough
I might come back to the subject if I am proved right. I really hope I am not
But a good speech about multiple ambitious goals "the hardest part"? Sorry for the language, but that is bollocks. Even Zack Polanski can manage that

🚨 Very excited to share our latest work:
RABBiT: a foundation model for speech- and language-evoked brain activity. 🧠🎧
W/ @mtoneva.bsky.social
One model enables:
✅ accurate zero-shot prediction
✅ efficient few-shot adaptation with only 5-10 mins of data
✅ convenient in-silico neuroscience. 🧵👇

Four challenges local authorities are navigating in delivering a fairer start for children in England
While many of the challenges we found were universal and unsurprising, with speech, language, and communication being the single biggest developmental barrier, there are also challenges specific to different geographies and demographics

Q: what can we learn about critical periods and second language acquisition? Richard: birds find it hard to move away/shift from a syllable, they would have to learn a new syllable. Sonja: infants are sensitive to speech even before they are able make speech and perceiving rhythm helps learning.

Sonja: humans may have the capacity for auditory rhythm perception and rhythms in the environment, which allows for auditory decoding. She distinguishes between speech and abstract language code and advocates integration between working memory and spontaneous motor behaviours and preferences.
