- This study presents a neurocomputational architecture able to simulate and explain, at an unprecedented resolution, speech-comprehension processes that occur in the brain at very small (in the millisecond range) time scales. It is significant as it is the first spiking-neurons model to offer a mechanistic, neurobiologically realistic answer to three vital questions in neuroscience of language research, namely, where, how, and when, exactly, the meaning of a word is “understood”, in the brain. Building on and extending work previously reported in the EJN (2016) publication listed below, this paper has received over 60 journal citations to date (source: Google Scholar).
