A new study reveals that the human brain processes spoken language in a sequence that closely mirrors the layered architecture of advanced AI language models. Using electrocorticography data from participants listening to a narrative, the research shows that deeper AI layers align with later brain responses in key language regions such as Broca’s area. The findings challenge traditional rule-based theories of language comprehension and introduce a publicly available neural dataset that sets a new benchmark for studying how the brain constructs meaning.
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers led by Dr. Ariel Goldstein of the Hebrew University in collaboration with Dr. Mariano Schain from Google Research along with Prof Uri Hasson and Eric Ham from Princeton University, uncovered...
