Introducing Romcom author Amy Poeppel But now here's Amy. Hello there, Amy, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Amy Poeppel: Well, thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to talk. Amy Poeppel - fresh and funny romcoms Jenny Wheeler: You're an established romcom author. And this is the fourth book that you've written. They've all done very well. This one has got a lovely premise. Three women, Lauren, Olivia, and Melinda, all with totally different motives and not necessarily at the beginning, good motives, get involved in either caring for or at least investing time in the welfare of a little baby who happens to be without his parents because of difficult circumstances. That's part of the setup of the story. You describe it as “a love letter to family friendships and Greenwich Village.” Tell us something about this fourth novel. Amy Poeppel: I wanted to write a book that took place in Greenwich Village because that's where I live. That is my neighborhood. It's beautiful. I happen to live in faculty housing at one of the biggest universities here, which is N Y U. I live in this large, very strange faculty dorm almost, which is I think a novel in and of itself at some point. I think that should be the next novel that I write. But I walk around this neighborhood all the time and you see faces over and over agai...

This week on the KPL Podcast, we have bestselling author Amy Poeppel, telling us about The Sweet Spot.   In the heart of Greenwich Village, three women form an accidental sorority when a baby—belonging to exactly none of them—lands on their collective doorstep.  When one woman's ex follows his lover across the country, leaving their squalling baby behind, the three women rise to the occasion in order to forgive, to forget, to Ferberize, and to track down the wayward parents. But can their little village find a way toward the happily ever afters they all desire? Welcome to The Sweet Spot.Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van PeltStay Up With Hugo Best by Erin SomersThe Spectacular by Fiona DavisWorld According to Fannie Davis: My Mother's Life in Detroit Numbers by Bridgett Davis

Abstract: Our sense of the passage of time flexibly adapts to the statistical properties of the temporal context. Humans and non-human species exhibit a perceptual bias towards the mean of durations previously observed as well as serial dependence, a perceptual bias towards the duration of recently processed events. Here we asked whether those two phenomena arise from a unitary mechanism or reflect the operation of two distinct systems that adapt separately to the global and local statistics of the environment. We employed a set of duration reproduction tasks in which the target duration was sampled from distributions with different variances and means. The central tendency and serial dependence biases were jointly modulated by the range and the variance of the prior, and these effects were well-captured by a unitary mechanism model in which temporal expectancies are updated after each trial based on perceptual observations. Alternative models that assume separate mechanisms for global and local contextual effects failed to capture the empirical results. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.14.512299v1?rss=1 Authors: Zuanazzi, A., Ripolles, P., Lin, W. M., Gwilliams, L., King, J.-R., Poeppel, D. Abstract: Combining words and composing meanings is at the basis of human language. However, how the brain constructs meaning online is not well understood. We develop an approach to address this puzzle that exploits the ubiquitous operation of negation. Although negation has been extensively debated among philosophers, psychologists, logicians, and linguists, the cognitive mechanisms supporting this elementary function remain largely unknown. Here, we track the compositional effects of negation ("not") on scalar adjectives (e.g., "good") in parametrically designed behavioral and magnetoencephalography (MEG) experiments. The behavioral data show that participants first interpret negated adjectives as affirmative and then modify their interpretation towards the opposite meaning. Decoding analyses of neural activity further reveal that negation does not invert the representation of adjectives but rather weakens their representation, as soon as lexical-semantic representations are encoded in the brain. This suppression mechanism is supported by desynchronization of beta-band activity elicited in sensory-motor areas during the processing of the adjective. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Nate Poeppel does a lot of things. He's the go-to audio engineer in Sioux Falls, the producer of the Leadmore Podcast, and he's a unique friend to many, including host John T. Meyer. He also had a lot of things including a house, a car, and a studio. But a month ago, he decided to leave the bulk of it behind and begin a new chapter on the road. While “van life” isn't new to us or to Nate, this episode isn't about life hacks or efficiency either. It's about self-awareness and letting go of what's holding you back.In episode 76, Nate and host John record from Nate's empty home as he prepares to leave it. Tune in to hear the friends discuss attachment, Nate's inspiration for the move, and how he decided to let go.An Empty House (1:21)The Execution was Easy (8:01)Your Attachments are in Your Way (20:59)Rapid-fire with Nate (24:48)Follow Nate's Journey on Instagram!-----Follow John T.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.17.301994v1?rss=1 Authors: Glushko, A., Poeppel, D., Steinhauer, K. Abstract: Recent neurophysiological research suggests that slow cortical activity tracks hierarchical syntactic structure during online sentence processing (e.g., Ding, Melloni, Zhang, Tian, & Poeppel, 2016). Here we tested an alternative hypothesis: electrophysiological activity peaks at sentence constituent frequencies reflect cortical tracking of overt or covert (implicit) prosodic grouping. In three experiments, participants listened to series of sentences while electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded. First, prosodic cues in the sentence materials were neutralized. We found an EEG spectral power peak elicited at a frequency that only "tagged" covert prosodic change, but not any major syntactic constituents. In the second experiment, participants listened to a series of sentences with overt prosodic grouping cues that either aligned or misaligned with the syntactic phrasing in the sentences (initial overt prosody trials). Immediately after each overt prosody trial, participants were presented with a second series of sentences (covert prosody trial) with all overt prosodic cues neutralized and asked to imagine the prosodic contour present in the previous, overt prosody trial. The EEG responses reflected an interactive relationship between syntactic processing and prosodic tracking at the frequencies of syntactic constituents (sentences and phrases): alignment of syntax and prosody boosted EEG responses, whereas their misalignment had an opposite effect. This was true for both overt and covert (imagined) prosody. We conclude that processing of both overt and covert prosody is reflected in the frequency tagged neural responses at sentence constituent frequencies, whereas identifying neural markers that are narrowly reflective of syntactic processing remains difficult and controversial.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.03.187260v1?rss=1 Authors: Assaneo, M. F., Orpella, J., Ripolles, P., Noejovich, L., Lopez-Barroso, D., de Diego Balaguer, R., Poeppel, D. Abstract: The ability to extract regularities from the environment is arguably an adaptive characteristic of intelligent systems. In the context of speech, statistical word-learning is thought to be an important mechanism for language acquisition. By taking into account individual differences in speech auditory-motor synchronization, an independent component analysis of fMRI data reveals that the neural substrates of this cognitive ability are not shared across individuals. While a network of auditory and superior pre/motor regions is universally activated to produce learning, a fronto-parietal network is instead additionally and selectively engaged by some individuals, boosting their performance. Interfering with the use of this network via articulatory suppression (producing irrelevant speech during learning) normalizes performance across the entire sample. Crucially, the engagement of this network predicts speech auditory-motor synchrony, directly relating this cognitive skill with language abilities. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.16.099432v1?rss=1 Authors: Rimmele, J. M., Poeppel, D., Ghitza, O. Abstract: Oscillation-based models of speech perception postulate a cortical computational principle by which decoding is performed within a window structure derived by a segmentation process. In the syllable level segmentation is realized by a theta oscillator. We provide evidence for an analogous role of a delta oscillator at the phrasal level. We recorded MEG while participants performed a target identification task. Random-digit strings, with phrasal chunks of two digits, were presented at chunk rates inside or outside of the delta range. Strong periodicities were elicited by acoustic- driven chunk rates inside of delta, in superior and middle temporal areas and speech-motor integration areas. Periodicities were diminished or absent for chunk rates outside of the delta range, closely in line with behavioral performance. No periodicities were observed for top-down driven chunking conditions. Our findings show that phrasal chunking is correlated with acoustic-driven delta oscillations, expressing anatomically specific patterns of neuronal periodicities.

Amy Poeppel discusses her new book "Limelight" with Helen Little. "Limelight" follows Allison Brinkley—wife, mother, and former unflappable optimist— as she discovers that a carefully weighed decision to pack up and move her family from suburban Dallas to the glittery chaos of Manhattan may have been more complicated than she and her husband initially thought.Allison learns that New York is unruly and bewildering, defying the notions she developed from romantic movies and a memorable childhood visit. After a humiliating call from the principal's office and the loss of the job she was counting on, Allison begins to accept that New York may not suit her after all.When Allison has a fender-bender, witnessed by a flock of mothers at her son's new school, she is led to the penthouse apartment of a luxurious Central Park West building and encounters a spoiled, hungover, unsupervised teenager who looks familiar. It doesn't take long to recognize him as Carter Reid—a famous pop star who has been cast in a new Broadway musical. Through this brush with stardom, Allison embraces a unique and unexpected opportunity that helps her find her way in the heart of Manhattan.

In the second hour, host Michael Wilde previewed the Real Presence Radio pilgrimage to the Holy Sites of Michigan with Mary Hanbury.

One admission can change your life...forever. When ambitious grad student Kate Pearson’s handsome French “almost fiancé” ditches her, she definitely does not roll with the punches, despite the best efforts of family and friends. It seems that nothing will get Kate out of pajamas and back into the world. Miraculously, one cringe-worthy job interview leads to a position in the admissions department at the revered Hudson Day School. Kate’s instantly thrown into a highly competitive and occasionally absurd culture, where she interviews all types of children: suitable, wildly unsuitable, charming, loathsome, ingratiating, or spoiled beyond all measure. And then there are the Park Avenue parents who refuse to take no for an answer.
