The paper develops a pipeline to estimate neuronal tuning for word meaning from naturalistic speech and validates it using patient data and ground-truth controls.

The paper shows hippocampal neurons encode meanings of spoken and heard words using shared geometric embeddings, enabling abstract cross-personal representations while preserving speaker identity binding.

The paper introduces the Healthy Brain Network (HBN) biobank, a large-scale multimodal dataset for pediatric mental health and learning disorders research, with initial data release.
