“…In the domain of working memory, this type of phase precession has been shown in rat hippocampus ( O'Keefe and Recce, 1993 ; Malhotra et al, 2012 ) and more recently in human electroencephalography ( Bahramisharif et al, 2018 ). In speech, phase of activation and perceived content are also associated ( Ten Oever and Sack, 2015 ; Kayser et al, 2016 ; Di Liberto et al, 2015 ; Ten Oever et al, 2016 ; Thézé et al, 2020 ), and phase has been implicated in tracking of higher-level linguistic structure ( Meyer, 2018 ; Brennan and Martin, 2020 ; Kaufeld et al, 2020a ). However, the direct link between phase and the predictability flowing from a language model has yet to be established.…”
