Human speech perception results from neural computations that transform external acoustic
speech signals into internal representations of words. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) …

Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We …

Why our use of language is highly creative yet also constrained We use words and phrases
creatively to express ourselves in ever-changing contexts, readily extending language …

Speech consists of a continuously-varying acoustic signal. Yet human listeners experience it
as sequences of discrete speech sounds, which are used to recognise discrete words. To …

We consider several key aspects of prediction in language comprehension: its
computational nature, the representational level (s) at which we predict, whether we use …

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 …

The applications of Artificial Intelligence lie all around us; in our homes, schools and offices,
in our cinemas, in art galleries and-not least-on the Internet. The results of Artificial …

Memory is fleeting. New material rapidly obliterates previous material. How, then, can the
brain deal successfully with the continual deluge of linguistic input? We argue that, to deal …

Eye Tracking in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism provides foundational
knowledge and hands-on advice for designing, conducting, and analysing eye-tracking …

Successful speech perception requires that listeners map the acoustic signal to linguistic
categories. These mappings are not only probabilistic, but change depending on the …
