Alex Huth’s paper, “Semantic information in natural narrative speech is represented in complex maps that tile human cerebral cortex” has just been published in Nature. Where exactly are the words in your head? Scientists have created an interactive map showing which brain areas respond to hearing different words. The map reveals how language is spread throughout the cortex and across both hemispheres, showing groups of words clustered together by meaning. The interactive model allows us to explore the complex organisation of the enormous dictionaries in our heads.
