Entwurf einer neurologischen Theorie der Sprache
Abstract
Recently, theories of neuronal computation in the brain have become detailed enough, so that it becomes possible to speculate about mechanisms underlying the production and perception of language. How many neurons are involved when we utter, or understand, a word, a phoneme, a phrase? In what neuronal form are the rules of grammar laid down in the synaptic network? To what does a morpheme correspond in the brain?

Recent studies have shown that the neural mechanisms of speech production and perception are connected and overlapping, even in motor areas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
