The neural architecture of language: Integrative modeling converges on predictive processing (2020, methodology): “Brain regions that this localizer identifies are robust to modality of presentation (e.g., Fedorenko et al., 2010; Scott et al., 2017), as well as materials and task (Diachek et al., 2020).”
An algorithmic method for functionally defining regions of interest in the ventral visual pathway (2012, methodology): “Second, the overlap maps were divided into group-level “ parcels ” following the topographical information in the maps, using a water-shed image segmentation algorithm (Meyer, 1991), as in Fedorenko et al. (2010).”
Simultaneously Uncovering the Patterns of Brain Regions Involved in Different Story Reading Subprocesses (2014, methodology): “Bottom: The main functional parcels derived from the probabilistic overlap map using an image parcellation (watershed) algorithm, as described in more detail in [7]. b - Results obtained by our generative model, showing where semantic, discourse, and syntax information is encoded by neural activity.”
Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings (2022, background): “…definition for the speech network because previous studies have shown that the anatomical location of the speech network varies across subjects 49 , whereas we used anatomical definitions for the parietal-temporal-occipital association region and the prefrontal region because these regions…”
Broad domain generality in focal regions of frontal and parietal cortex (2013, methodology): “Note that these tasks were not designed to be directly comparable to one another, even though they have all been shown to produce behavioral difficulty effects with the hard condition, leading to lower accuracies and longer reaction times (2, 27).”
Functional Correlates of the Antero-Lateral Processing Hierarchy in Human Auditory Cortex (2011, methodology): “The need for auditory functional localization methods is evident from the existing literature (Formisano et al., 2003; Petkov et al., 2006; Fedorenko et al., 2010), and highlighted by the variability in ROI size and location in individual subjects that was not well captured by the group analysis.”
Natural speech reveals the semantic maps that tile human cerebral cortex (2016, neutral): “3a), while respecting individual differences in anatomical and functional anatomy 23,24 .”
