Adaptability is a distinguishing feature of the human species: We thrive as hunter-gatherers,
farmers, and urbanites. What properties of our brains make us highly adaptable? We review …

Deep neural networks drive the success of natural language processing. A fundamental
property of language is its compositional structure, allowing humans to systematically …

What constitutes a language? Natural languages share some features with other domains:
from math, to music, to gesture. However, the brain mechanisms that process linguistic input …

Does the perisylvian language network contribute to comprehension of programming
languages, like Python? Univariate neuroimaging studies find high responses to code in …

Recent Machine Learning–Assisted Software Vulnerability Detection (MLAVD) research has
focused on large-scale models with hundreds of millions of parameters powered by …

The ability to manipulate logical-mathematical symbols (LMS), encompassing tasks such as
calculation, reasoning, and programming, is a cognitive skill arguably unique to humans …

Programming is a cornerstone of modern society, yet its cognitive and neural basis remains
poorly understood. In this study, we test the hypothesis that programming" recycles" pre …

In this paper, we consider how the ability to learn Code Execution Tasks affects a model's
accuracy on software vulnerability detection (SVD) benchmark datasets. We initially find that …

Decoding semantic meanings from brain activity has attracted increasing attention.
Neurolinguists have found that semantic perception is open to multisensory stimulation, as …
