Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Zada et al.1 examine how linguistic information flows from a speaker's brain to a listener's brain during face-to-face spontaneous conversation. The authors use intracranial recordings from five pairs of epilepsy patients and neural network language models to establish the existence of an abstract, linguistic space that is shared during conversation.
