How does language learning emerge from everyday experience? Our new preprint, led by @HRaviv830 offers a mechanistic answer.

What does it take to learn language from everyday experience?

Our new study, published today in Science, offers a new way to answer this question.

We’ve spent years showing that people hearing the same story share neural responses in high-level cortex. Now: instrumental music—no words—does too, converging on the story listeners imagine.
New in @NatureComms, led by @ItamarJalon with @LisaMargulis: nature.com/articles/s4146…

If you saw our modeling paper, this is the infrastructure behind it. New preprint from the First 1,000 Days (1kD) Project. It took 5 years to build what this paper describes. Worth it.

So proud of Arnab Bhattacharjee (first author on this work) and the whole team! 🚀🧠
Aligning ECoG data into a shared space boosts how well LLMs predict brain activity during language comprehension.
