The neural activity tracks relative position within the word, regardless of its length, and resets at each new word boundary. #neuroskyence @changlabucsf.bsky.socialsciencedirect.comHuman cortical dynamics of auditory word form encodingWe perceive continuous speech as a series of discrete words, despite the lack of clear acoustic boundaries.
