In 1980, the N400 event-related potential was described in association with semantic
anomalies within sentences. When, in 1992, a second waveform, the P600, was reported in …

In this paper we present a novel theory of the cognitive and neural processes by which
adults learn new spoken words. This proposal builds on neurocomputational accounts of …

To evaluate the relative role of left and right hemispheres (RH) and describe the functional
anatomy of RH during ortholinguistic tasks, we re-analyzed the 128 papers of a former left …
