•New MIT study finds neurons process language at varied timescales
82% Informative
MIT neuroscientists have identified different clusters of neurons that appear to process different amounts of linguistic context.
These “temporal windows” range from just one word up to about six words.
The researchers say the temporal windows may reflect different functions for each population.
Populations with shorter windows may analyze the meanings of individual words, while those with longer windows may interpret more complex meanings created when words are strung together.
