How artificial intelligence is shaping neuropsychology: A focus on cognitive assessment of neurodegenerative disorders

open access: yesJournal of Neuropsychology, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 256-275, March 2026.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms are revolutionising the world, and they have the potential to revolutionise neuropsychology as well. A particularly fruitful field for this revolution is the cognitive assessment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Mild Cognitive ...

Novel Approach to Inter‐Onset‐Interval Ratio Uncovers Music‐Like Rhythmic Patterns in Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) Warble Song

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1557, Issue 1, March 2026.
Recent work on non‐human animal vocalizations has offered new insights into rhythmicity. In an attempt to improve upon methods commonly used in animal rhythm research, we investigated the rhythmic structure of budgerigar song. Our proposed statistical approach showed rhythmicity in human music but not language, and uncovered non‐random structured ...

Toward a Fuller Integration of Respiratory Rhythms Into Research on Infant Vocal and Motor Development

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.
From birth, respiration constitutes an intrinsic rhythm. We suggest that vocalizations and bodily movements are interactively coordinated with this respiratory rhythm, providing a temporal framework for multimodal language development. ABSTRACT Rhythm organizes many human motor activities from before birth and continues to shape development throughout ...
