Happy New Year everyone!
I predict that by next week we’ll be rockin. Ha ha ha <crying>
be on the lookout for our anosmia case study in Neurocase
The lab’s case study on language for olfactory semantics in an adult with probable congenital anosmia was just accepted at Neurocase. Be on the lookout for:
Reilly J, Finley AM, Zuckerman B, Kelly A, & *Flurie M (in press, 2021). The semantics of smell: A neuropsychological case-control study of lexical-semantic processing in total anosmia. Neurocase.
Nearing the age of 50, Jamie Reilly asked his first coding question on Stack Overflow
This was horrifying! Everyone on Stack Overflow seems so helpful and smart, but I’ve often seen sage advice dished out with a dollop of serious snark. I’m prepared for the shame that will ensue. I’m too old for this though. Rave next? Skateboarding? Trying to get an internship at Facebook?
Read our text mining analyses of the Unabomber Manifesto
We’ve been learning some of the very basics of automated text mining in these COVID times with limited human subjects testing. Check out this lexical frequency analysis of Theodore Kaczynski’s essay, Industrial Society and its Future.
Max Flurie publishes his first peer reviewed article in JSLHR!
Sure he’s been accused of riding Jamie Reilly’s coattails, calling himself a doctor, etc. BUT NO MORE! Max just had his first lead-authored paper accepted at the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. That’s a big deal in our field. Go Max, and congratulations to his co-author, the great Molly Ungrady!!!
Be on the lookout for:
Evaluating a Maintenance-Based Treatment Approach to Preventing Lexical Dropout in Progressive Anomia
Max Flurie boldly appropriates the title of doctor years before he might become one.
Jamie Reilly joins the editorial board of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
Dr. Jamie Reilly was appointed to the editorial board for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, an exciting academic journal focused on multidisciplinary brain rehabilitation research.
Molly Ungrady continues her world domination tour

Peter Twigg completes his MSc in Neuroscience!
A nicer chap you will never meet…. We are proud of Peter who will be graduating from Temple University next week with his Master’s degree in Neuroscience — and he did it all in the time of corona. Bravo Peter
Our cursing article featured in Discover Magazine
New section on the lab website -- meet our pets!
New article coming up in the Journal of Neurolinguistics
Be on the lookout for our recent paper contrasting sensory norms in English (e.g., visual salience, smell salience, etc) with functional brain activation levels for each sensory modality —
Reilly J, *Flurie M, & Peelle JE (2020, in press). The English lexicon mirrors a functional hierarchy dominated by vision and audition: Point-Counterpoint. Journal of Neurolinguistics.
Farewell to Isabella Neff, Catalina Barrosso, & Ali Miler
