Neural Noise- ECoG decoding during sentence production (ten patients; picture naming vs scene description) shows words share cortical representations across tasks, with structure-dependent temporal dynamics (Communications Psychology, 2025).1
- In sensorimotor cortex, word activation followed speech order; in prefrontal cortex, processing order depended on syntactic structure, with a spatial subject/object code in IFG vs MFG for passives.1
- Classifiers trained on picture-naming patterns decoded which words patients processed while producing sentences, advancing speech-prosthesis decoding beyond single-word paradigms.1
Gardner updates
- Mimed speech acts as an intermediary state between overt and imagined speech in an ECoG study (Scientific Reports, 2025), clarifying better decoding targets and training paradigms for speech prostheses.2
