Predictability shapes meaning resolution for lexicosemantic ambiguities Open
Spoken sentence comprehension requires listeners to integrate information across levels of representation. The predictability of linguistics features, including words and phonemes/forms, has been proposed to facilitate this process. In our…

Guided by Expectations: Overweighted Semantic Priors in Schizotypy and their Links to Glutamate Open
An imbalance in the weighting of prior beliefs and sensory evidence are thought to contribute to the development of psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions. We investigated how much individuals with schizotypal traits, a s…

New insights on the structural configuration and evolution of the deepwater offshore margin of Sabah, Borneo Open
Offshore Borneo in the South China Sea has a complicated structural setting resulting from complex regional geodynamics, marginal basins subductions and openings. Here we present a model for the tectonic evolution of the deepwater offshore…

A deep hierarchy of predictions enables online meaning extraction in a computational model of human speech comprehension Open
Understanding speech requires mapping fleeting and often ambiguous soundwaves to meaning. While humans are known to exploit their capacity to contextualize to facilitate this process, how internal knowledge is deployed online remains an op…

Differential Auditory and Visual Phase-Locking Are Observed during Audio-Visual Benefit and Silent Lip-Reading for Speech Perception Open
Speech perception in noisy environments is enhanced by seeing facial movements of communication partners. However, the neural mechanisms by which audio and visual speech are combined are not fully understood. We explore MEG phase-locking t…

Causal contributions of the domain-general (Multiple Demand) and the language-selective brain networks to perceptual and semantic challenges in speech comprehension Open
1. Abstract Listening to spoken language engages domain-general Multiple Demand (MD, fronto-parietal) regions of the human brain, in addition to domain-selective (fronto-temporal) language regions, particularly when comprehension is challe…

Causal Contributions of the Domain-General (Multiple Demand) and the Language-Selective Brain Networks to Perceptual and Semantic Challenges in Speech Comprehension Open
Listening to spoken language engages domain-general multiple demand (MD; frontoparietal) regions of the human brain, in addition to domain-selective (frontotemporal) language regions, particularly when comprehension is challenging. However…

Updating ambiguous word meanings: a role for the language-selective fronto-temporal network Open
Semantically ambiguous words (e.g. "bark") challenge word meaning access. An effective comprehension system can use immediate contextual cues and adapt in response to recent experience. We explored the contributions of the domain-specific …

Using machine learning to reduce ensembles of geological models for oil and gas exploration Open
Exploration using borehole drilling is a key activity in determining the most appropriate locations for the petroleum industry to develop oil fields. However, estimating the amount of Oil In Place (OIP) relies on computing with a very sign…
Anterior temporal lobe is necessary for efficient lateralised processing of spoken word identity Open
In the healthy human brain, the processing of language is strongly lateralised, usually to the left hemisphere, while the processing of complex non-linguistic sounds recruits brain regions bilaterally. Here we asked whether the anterior te…

Machine learning on Crays to optimize petrophysical workflows in oil and gas exploration Open
Summary The oil and gas industry is awash with sub‐surface data, which is used to characterize the rock and fluid properties beneath the seabed. This drives commercial decision making and exploration, but the industry relies upon highly ma…

Crustal Cracks and Frozen Flow in Oceanic Lithosphere Inferred From Electrical Anisotropy Open
Geophysical observations of anisotropy in oceanic lithosphere offer insight into the formation and evolution of tectonic plates. Seismic anisotropy is well studied but electrical anisotropy remains poorly understood, especially in the crus…

The Neural Time Course of Semantic Ambiguity Resolution in Speech Comprehension Open
Semantically ambiguous words challenge speech comprehension, particularly when listeners must select a less frequent (subordinate) meaning at disambiguation. Using combined magnetoencephalography (MEG) and EEG, we measured neural responses…

Inversion of marine controlled source electromagnetic data using a parallel non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Open
SUMMARY We developed a multi-objective optimization method for inverting marine controlled source electromagnetic data using a fast-non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. Deterministic methods for inverting electromagnetic data rely on s…
