Narrative Comprehension (Naturalistic Listening)
Participant listens to or reads an extended naturalistic narrative (spoken story, podcast, audio-book passage, or film soundtrack) while neural activity is recorded with fMRI, EEG, MEG, or fNIRS. Used to study how the brain integrates linguistic information across long time-scales; analysis typically relies on inter-subject correlation (ISC) or model-based encoding of linguistic features. Underpins large open datasets such as the Narratives collection and the Pieman corpus on OpenNeuro.
