The neurocomputational mechanisms of hierarchical linguistic predictions during narrative comprehension

2025-03-29

Abstract excerpt

Language comprehension requires a listener to predict the upcoming inputs of linguistic units with multiple timescales based on previous contexts, but how the prediction process is hierarchically represented and implemented in the human brain remains unclear. Combining the natural language processing (NLP) approach and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in a narrative comprehension task, we first applied...
