The more closely scientists listen to the brain during conversation, the more its activity patterns resemble the statistical ...

How does the brain manage to catch the drift of a mumbled sentence or a flat, robotic voice? A new study led by researchers ...

Brain activity during speech follows a layered timing pattern that matches large language model steps, showing how meaning builds gradually.

A new study has provided the first clear picture of where language processes are located in the brain. The findings may be useful in clinical trials involving language recovery after brain injury.

Language is more strongly controlled by the left half of the brain, while other functions are more strongly controlled by the ...

Language enables people to transmit thoughts to each other because each person’s brain responds similarly to the meaning of words. In newly published research, my colleagues and I developed a ...

In their classic 1998 textbook on cognitive neuroscience, Michael Gazzaniga, Richard Ivry, and George Mangun made a sobering observation: there was no clear mapping between how we process language and ...

Hysell V Oviedo receives funding from NIH. Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels – linguistic, emotional and musical – and acts as a biological ...

The human brain processes spoken language in a step-by-step sequence that closely matches how large language models transform text.
