This study uses intracranial EEG to show the supplementary motor area (SMA) is the earliest cortical region active before speech onset during stereotyped word articulation.

This study investigates semantic integration in the human brain using intracranial recordings, identifying specific brain regions and their roles in semantic processing and conflict resolution.

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.

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.

The study identifies posterior ventral temporal lobe regions critical for word retrieval, showing that resections beyond 6 cm from the anterior tip significantly impair confrontation naming.

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 identifies two distinct predictive mechanisms in human auditory cortex during speech perception and production, revealing their anatomical and functional roles in predicting 'when' and 'what' acoustic events occur.
