Syllabic-rate ECoG responses to English sentences and the acoustic control (N = 5). The top panel shows electrodes showing statistically significant syllabic-rate ECoG responses to the acoustic control, i.e. shuffled sequences, which has the same acoustic/syllabic rhythm as the English sentences but contains no hierarchical linguistic structures (Fig. 2f). The significance tests in this figure are based on bootstrap (FDR-corrected) and the significance level is 0.05. The responses are most strongly seen in bilateral STG for both high-gamma and low-frequency activity and also in bilateral pre-motor areas for low-frequency activity. The bottom panel shows the syllabic-rate ECoG responses to English sentences. The figure shows electrodes that show statistically significant neural responses to sentences and no significant response to the acoustic control. The syllabic rate responses specific to sentences are strong along bilateral STG for high-gamma activity and are widely distributed in the frontal and temporal lobes for low-frequency activity.
