Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Primates have evolved diverse cognitive capabilities to navigate their complex social world.
To understand how the brain implements critical social cognitive abilities, we describe …

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 …

Two analytic traditions characterize fMRI language research. One relies on averaging
activations across individuals. This approach has limitations: because of inter-individual …

Abstract Language neuroscience currently relies on two major experimental paradigms:
controlled experiments using carefully hand-designed stimuli, and natural stimulus …

Most neuroimaging studies of brain function analyze data in normalized space to identify
regions of common activation across participants. These studies treat interindividual …

Abstract Language and music are two human-unique capacities whose relationship remains
debated. Some have argued for overlap in processing mechanisms, especially for structure …

Within neuroscience, psychology, and neuroimaging, the most frequently used statistical
approach is null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) of the population mean. An …

Recent work identified single time points (“events”) of high regional cofluctuation in
functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) which contain more large-scale brain …

Semantic control is the capability to operate on meaningful representations, selectively
focusing on certain aspects of meaning while purposefully ignoring other aspects based on …
