Global statistical constraint and local partner-sensitive inference support dynamic, open-ended verbal coordination

The paper investigates how dynamic verbal coordination arises through a hybrid model combining global semantic constraints and local partner-sensitive adjustments in collaborative word-generation tasks.

The neurocomputational mechanisms of hierarchical linguistic predictions during narrative comprehension

This study investigates how the brain hierarchically represents linguistic predictions during narrative comprehension using NLP and fMRI, finding that sentence-level predictions update at boundaries rather than continuously.

The Neurocognitive Mechanisms Underlying Narrative Schematic and Paraphrastic Transmission

This study uses fMRI and social transmission chains to examine how narrative structure and content are transmitted, finding that schematic transmission is more stable than paraphrastic transmission.

The "two-brain" approach reveals the positive role of task-deactivated default mode network in narrative speech comprehension

The paper shows the default mode network (DMN) actively supports narrative speech comprehension, not just being suppressed, through neural couplings and hierarchical network interactions.

Reduced listener-speaker neural coupling underlies speech understanding difficulty in older adults

This study shows that older adults have reduced neural coupling with speakers during speech comprehension, which correlates with poorer speech understanding.
