A new study reports that as people listen to a spoken story, neural activity in key language regions unfolds over time in a way that mirrors the layer-by-layer computations inside large language models. The researchers, who analyzed electrocorticography recordings from epilepsy patients during a 30-minute podcast, also released an open dataset intended to help other scientists test competing theories of how meaning is built in the brain.
