Neural representation of phonological wordform in bilateral posterior temporal cortex

David O. Sorensen, Enes Avcu, Skyla Lynch, Seppo P. Ahlfors, David W. Gow

The paper uses neural decoding and effective connectivity analysis to identify bilateral posterior temporal cortex as the site of phonological wordform representation, distinct from phonemic or semantic representations.
