The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

The notion that prediction is a fundamental principle of human information processing has
been en vogue over recent years. The investigation of language processing may be …

Measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) has been fundamental to our understanding of
how language is encoded in the brain. One particular ERP response, the N400 response …

The advent of functional neuroimaging has allowed tremendous advances in our
understanding of brain–language relationships, in addition to generating substantial …

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 …

An extensive program of research in the past 2 decades has focused on the role of modal
sensory, motor, and affective brain systems in storing and retrieving concept knowledge …

Vocal perception is particularly important for understanding a speaker's emotional state and
intentions because, unlike facial perception, it is relatively independent of speaker distance …

Musical emotions, such as happiness and sadness, have been investigated using
