What takes precedence in our brain: music or language? Here we used rapid phase-encoded fMRI to explore spatiotemporal brain dynamics during naturalistic music and language tasks, seeking to track down the entire perception-to-production process and compare the speed of information transfer between the two domains. We found largely shared streams of traveling waves bilaterally, along which musical codes were transported faster than language codes for identical visual input.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
