The paper investigates neural activity in the human precentral gyrus during speech tasks, finding neurons that encode both listening and speaking phases, including mirror and bridge neurons.

The paper shows that neural activity in auditory cortex encodes temporal context in speech through low-dimensional latent states, with timing cues capturing more variance than phonetic features.

This paper presents a method for high-density single-unit recording in human cortex using Neuropixels probes, achieving 596 single units across 11 recordings in 8 participants.
