    Stimulus dependencies—rather than next-word prediction—can explain pre-onset brain encoding in naturalistic listening designs

    Inés Schönmann, Jakub Szewczyk ... Micha Heilbron
    The ability to predict brain activity from words before they occur can be explained by information shared between neighbouring words, without requiring next-word prediction by the brain.
