The language network as a natural kind within the broader landscape of the human brain
Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Prediction during language comprehension: what is next?
R Ryskin, MS Nieuwland - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 - cell.com
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 …

Driving and suppressing the human language network using large language models
Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of
human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses …

Toward a realistic model of speech processing in the brain with self-supervised learning
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 …
