This study investigates whether brain representations of language processing timescales are shared between reading and listening. Using fMRI data from participants reading and listening to the same narratives, voxelwise encoding models were employed to determine cortical representations of different timescales (operationalized as spectral components varying over different word counts). Results show similar timescale representations across the cortex for both modalities, suggesting that after initial sensory processing, language integration proceeds similarly regardless of input modality.
