This study investigates hierarchical vs. sequential computations in sentence processing using MEG, finding dominance of hierarchical processing and memory-based interference over prediction-based interference.

This study investigates semantic tuning of concept cells in the human medial temporal lobe, finding graded responses and region-specific categorical profiles.

The paper identifies modality-specific and amodal language processing by single neurons using neural recordings from patients during sentence comprehension.

The paper investigates how neural representations of sentences evolve, finding that meaningful sentences have higher dimensionality and specific dynamic patterns in both human brains and deep language models.

The paper identifies the mid-fusiform cortex as the first region sensitive to word identity and frequency in the ventral visual pathway using intracranial recordings.

The paper shows that single-cell activity in human STG during phoneme perception is organized by articulatory features, supporting auditory theories over motor theories.
