The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

Humans have a unique ability to produce and consume rich, complex, and varied language
in order to communicate ideas to one another. Still, outside of natural reading, the most …

Speech perception is thought to rely on a cortical feedforward serial transformation of
acoustic into linguistic representations. Using intracranial recordings across the entire …

Several deep neural networks have recently been shown to generate activations similar to
those of the brain in response to the same input. These algorithms, however, remain largely …

When we listen to speech, we have to make sense of a waveform of sound pressure.
Hierarchical models of speech perception assume that, to extract semantic meaning, the …

Our understanding of nonlinear stimulus transformations by neural circuits is hindered by the
lack of comprehensive yet interpretable computational modeling frameworks. Here, we …

Recently, cognitive neuroscientists have increasingly studied the brain responses to
narratives. At the same time, we are witnessing exciting developments in natural language …

The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is a crucial hub for speech perception and can be
studied with high spatiotemporal resolution using electrodes targeting mesial temporal …

Intracranial human recordings are a valuable and rare resource of information about the
brain. Making such data publicly available not only helps tackle reproducibility issues in …

The human auditory cortex is organized according to the timing and spectral characteristics
of speech sounds during speech perception. During listening, the posterior superior …
