Apparent neural encoding of future words may arise from the statistical structure of language itself, rather than from predictive computations in the brain.

This study presents valuable findings by reanalyzing previously published MEG and ECoG datasets to challenge the predictive nature of pre-onset neural encoding effects. The evidence supporting the ...

Phonological encoding is a critical stage in the process of spoken word production, involving the selection and organisation of sound representations before articulation. Research in this field has ...
