This study replicates Nozaradan et al.'s 2011 findings on neural activity during imagined beat perception, finding smaller effect sizes and no reliable replication of main effects.

This study investigates neural representations of compositional processing during sentence production using fMRI, finding distributed brain activity and specific encoding in the left inferior frontal gyrus for event-specific semantic structures.

This study compares syntactic processing in speaking and listening by analyzing neural dynamics during naturalistic tasks, finding divergent patterns in structure building.

This study investigates whether neural oscillations reflect rhythm perception or generation, finding that meter-related oscillations occur only when rhythms are actively generated.

The paper uses fMRI and multi-voxel pattern analysis to show shared brain activity patterns between saccadic eye movements and semantic processing of spatial words.

The paper warns against overinterpreting decoding results from stimulus-feature-based encoding models in fMRI data, showing that high decoding accuracy does not guarantee valid representational inferences.
