538. Hearing the Written Word: Listening and Reading Recruit Shared Lexical Semantic Networks

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Forseth discusses the language networks in the brain. He explains that language is a unique human adaptation and that it can be transmitted through speaking and reading. He talks about the different pathways involved in listening and reading, and how meaning is extracted from acoustic and visual signals. Dr. Forseth also discusses the brain regions involved in verbal and reading processing, and the temporal dynamics of lexical and phonological processing. He presents findings from electrocorticography studies and highlights the shared cortical networks used in listening and reading. The video ends with Dr. Forseth answering questions and acknowledging his lab and Dr. Nitin Tandon for their support.
