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

Humans can find music happy, sad, fearful or spiritual. They can be soothed by it or urged to
dance. Whether these psychological responses reflect cognitive adaptations that evolved …

Music is core to human experience, yet the precise neural dynamics underlying music
perception remain unknown. We analyzed a unique intracranial electroencephalography …

Music comprises a diverse category of cognitive phenomena that likely represent both the
effects of psychological adaptations that are specific to music (eg, rhythmic entrainment) and …

Prior work has identified cortical regions selectively responsive to specific categories of
visual stimuli. However, this hypothesis-driven work cannot reveal how prominent these …

To derive meaning from sound, the brain must integrate information across many timescales.
What computations underlie multiscale integration in human auditory cortex? Evidence …

Models that predict brain responses to stimuli provide one measure of understanding of a
sensory system and have many potential applications in science and engineering. Deep …

In expert readers, a brain region known as the visual word form area (VWFA) is highly
sensitive to written words, exhibiting a posterior-to-anterior gradient of increasing sensitivity …

The human brain tracks amplitude fluctuations of both speech and music, which reflects
acoustic processing in addition to the encoding of higher-order features and one's cognitive …

Music and speech are encountered daily and are unique to human beings. Both are
transformed by the auditory pathway from an initial acoustical encoding to higher level …
