The cortical representation of language timescales is shared between reading and listening (Chen et al., Communications Biology, 2024)

Language comprehension involves integrating low-level sensory inputs into a hierarchy of increasingly high-level features. To recover this hierarchy we mapped the intrinsic timescale of language representation across the cerebral cortex during listening and reading. We find that the timescale of representation is organized similarly for the two modalities.
