Functional characterization of the language network of polyglots and hyperpolyglots with precision fMRI

This study uses fMRI to examine how polyglots and hyperpolyglots process their languages, finding that response magnitude scales with linguistic computation engagement.

How random is the review outcome? A systematic study of the impact of external factors on eLife peer review

This study examines the impact of random external factors on eLife peer review outcomes, finding that such factors have relatively little quantifiable bias.

High-level language brain regions are sensitive to sub-lexical regularities

The paper investigates whether sub-lexical phoneme combinatorics are represented in high-level language brain regions using fMRI experiments with nonwords.

A robust dissociation among the language, multiple demand, and default mode networks: evidence from inter-region correlations in effect size

The paper examines the functional relationships between language, multiple demand, and default mode networks using fMRI data, finding strong within-network correlations and weak cross-network correlations.
