The meaning of language is represented in regions of the cerebral cortex collectively known
as the ‘semantic system’. However, little of the semantic system has been mapped …

Humans can see and name thousands of distinct object and action categories, so it is unlikely
that each category is represented in a distinct brain area. A more efficient scheme would …

… & Huth, AG Voxelwise encoding models show that cerebellar language representations are …

Little is known about how attention changes the cortical representation of sensory information
in humans. On the basis of neurophysiological evidence, we hypothesized that attention …

… in the precuneus (PrCu) and angular gyrus (AG), which replicate previous findings that these
are high… All participants show high correlation values in PrCu and AG, further supporting the …

Speech comprehension requires that the brain extract semantic meaning from the spectral
features represented at the cochlea. To investigate this process, we performed an fMRI …

Humans have a unique ability to produce and consume rich, complex, and varied language
in order to communicate ideas to one another. Still, outside of natural reading, the most …

… Alexander Huth (AH): I think it is difficult to answer this question without some historical
perspective. Throughout the 20th century, psychologists sought to make their field more scientific …

An integral part of human language is the capacity to extract meaning from spoken and
written words, but the precise relationship between brain representations of information …

One crucial test for any quantitative model of the brain is to show that the model can be used
to accurately decode information from evoked brain activity. Several recent neuroimaging …
