What are you talking about? Representation of the Topic of Speech in the Human Brain

2024-12-12

Abstract excerpt

A sentence outside context provides very restricted information to the listener. Real understanding requires one to be able to place it within the sequence of sentences forming a coherent “story” and just as importantly, within one’s general knowledge of the “topic”. Here we demonstrate the existence of functional brain networks robustly sensitive to the topic of ca. 6-minute-long coherent newspaper articles. Main...
