Cortical processing of reference in language revealed by computational models

2020-11-25

Abstract excerpt

Human language processing involves not only combining word meanings in accordance with semantic and syntactic constraints, but also figuring out who and what is being referred to. Here we present a first study towards a mechanistic understanding of the neural basis for referential processing. Using both functional MRI and magnetoencephalography (MEG), we identified a consistent increase of activity in a network sp...
