Zada et al. use fMRI hyperscanning to simultaneously record dyads engaging in free-form, interactive conversations. They find that speech production and comprehension rely on highly overlapping neural representations across the cortical language network. Brain-to-brain coupling is strongest in areas associated with social cognition.

New tools for literature mining, such as automated analysis of the research literature, are accessible, scalable, and reliable.

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE We all rely on science. Science gave us the smartphones in our pockets, the navigation systems in our cars, and life-saving medical care. We count on engineers when we drive acr...

This scientific commentary refers to ‘Lesion correlates of impaired acoustic-phonetic perception after unilateral left hemisphere stroke’ by Binder et al.

Traditionally considered a motor structure, the cerebellum has been shown to play a key role in several cognitive functions. However, for decades, the cerebellum has been largely overlooked and even d...

Communications Psychology - Context-dependent temporal structures are represented in multiple ways in parallel in the human brain during processing of temporally extended events. The neural...

The authors show that functionally paired visual and memory brain areas share a common neural code, which structures their communication. This code is visual in nature and uses a push–pull dynamic t...

Devices that connect brains to computers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Can the fledgling neurorights movement catch up?

It is with sadness that I convey the news that Dr. Sean Marrett, a treasured NIMH staff scientist for the intramural program’s Functional MRI Facility (FMRIF) for over 20 years, has passed away. Sea...

Today, we’re excited to have Alex Huth on the podcast. Alex is one of the more creative and insightful people in the field of brain imaging today as he has been forging new ground using naturalistic...

The Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative is driven by a radically simple idea: Progress in neuroscience will flourish when the health of men and wom...

Motor actions, such as reaching or grasping, can be decoded from fMRI activity of early visual cortex (EVC) in sighted humans. This effect can depend on vision or visual imagery, or alternatively, cou...

Representations from transformer-based unidirectional language models are known to be effective at predicting brain responses to natural language. However, most studies comparing language models...
