Just like unraveling the intricate web of brain networks during natural speech comprehension, scientists are delving into the functional mechanism of language processing. By using a technique called temporal response functions (TRFs) on electroencephalograph (EEG) data, researchers can estimate the neural sources and investigate the brain networks involved in understanding speech. This method involves reducing […]
