Large language models (LLMs) have come closest among all models to date to mastering
human language, yet opinions about their linguistic and cognitive capabilities remain split …

Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

Abstract Syntax, the structure of sentences, enables humans to express an infinite range of
meanings through finite means. The neurobiology of syntax has been intensely studied but …

Brain activity in numerous perisylvian brain regions is modulated by the expectedness of
linguistic stimuli. We leverage recent advances in computational parsing models to test what …

The “Narratives” collection aggregates a variety of functional MRI datasets collected while
human subjects listened to naturalistic spoken stories. The current release includes 345 …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

Over the years, a large body of work on the brain basis of language comprehension has
accumulated, paving the way for the formulation of a comprehensive model. The model …

Semantic memory refers to knowledge about people, objects, actions, relations, self, and
culture acquired through experience. The neural systems that store and retrieve this …

A key feature of speech is the quasi-regular rhythmic information contained in its slow
amplitude modulations. In this article we review the information conveyed by speech rhythm …
