The goal of building a whole-brain interface—capable of generating a real-time digital representation of the state of the entire central nervous system—has long been framed as a hardware challenge of ...

Identical utterance choices can arise from different communicative causes, and identical interpretations can leave different traces in what a listener learns. Rational Speech Act (RSA) models treat in...

Identical utterance choices can arise from different communicative causes, and identical interpretations can leave different traces in what a listener learns. Rational Speech Act (RSA) models treat in...

How semantic information influences phonetic processing during speech perception remains unclear. Here, the authors show that semantic predictions reshape phonetic representations in human temporal co...

I am grateful to the authors of the commentary articles for identifying productive points of pressure for any neurocomputational account of syntax: whether semantic interpretation can proceed witho...

Much like with statistical learning, there is a tendency in the cognitive and language science literature to treat chunking as a unitary, domain-general ability that operates fairly similarly across ...

What must a neural system be capable of to implement language? Current research annotates stimuli with linguistic variables and tests which electrodes, voxels, or language-model layers predict neural ...
