Syllable processing is organized in discrete subregions of the human superior temporal gyrus

The brain is anatomically organized in columns, but how these columns relate to function in the human association cortex is not clear. This study reveals that the human superior temporal gyrus is functionally organized in ~1.7-mm diameter modules that process language information.

"A brick in the wall": reconstruction of a @PinkFloyd song from recorded neural activity, revealing involvement of the #SuperiorTemporalGyrus in information processing during #MusicPerception. Implications for #BrainComputerInterface #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/47zOgve
Music can be reconstructed from human auditory cortex activity using nonlinear decoding models

Using combined regression-based decoding models and encoding analyses, this study successfully reconstructed a Pink Floyd song from recorded neural activity, revealing involvement of the superior temporal gyrus in information processing during music perception, and making an important step towards adding musical elements to brain-computer interface applications.
