A Spatiotemporal Map of Reading Aloud

The paper creates a spatiotemporal map of word processing during reading aloud using intracranial recordings and identifies neural correlates of lexicality, word frequency, and orthographic neighborhood.

Event-Related Phase Synchronization Propagates Rapidly across Human VentralVisual Cortex

The paper shows that visual inputs trigger rapid, organized phase modulation patterns in human ventral visual cortex, enabling efficient information integration across the visual stream.

Minimal phrase composition revealed by intracranial recordings

This paper uses intracranial recordings to show that the posterior superior temporal sulcus encodes both lexical and phrase structure in minimal phrases, with distinct timing and spatial patterns.
