Spoken language comprehension relies on context-dependent neural weighting of syntax and prosody

The paper investigates how syntax and prosody interact in spoken language comprehension using MEG data, finding context-dependent neural interactions between the two.

Structural and sequential regularities modulate phrase-rate neural tracking

This study investigates whether neural tracking at the phrase rate in speech is driven by syntactic structure or sequential repetition, finding both factors influence tracking.

Neural dynamics express syntax in the time domain during natural story listening

The paper tests models of syntactic structure processing during Dutch story listening using neural activity and finds that a predictive top-down parser best matches brain dynamics.

Dissociating activation and integration of discourse referents: evidence from ERPs and oscillations

The paper investigates the neural mechanisms of anaphor comprehension using EEG, finding dissociable theta and gamma band activity for activation and integration of discourse referents.
