Computational Neuroscience of Language Processing in the Human Brain
Sponsor
Massachusetts General Hospital
Enrollment
40 participants
Start Date
Apr 2, 2021
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Language is a signature human cognitive skill, but the precise computations that support language understanding remain unknown. This study aims to combine high-quality human neural data obtained through intracranial recordings with advances in computational modeling of human cognition to shed light on the construction and understanding of speech.
