Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

Because context has a robust influence on the processing of subsequent words, the idea
that readers and listeners predict upcoming words has attracted research attention, but …

A comprehensive account of the neurobiological basis of language, arguing that species-
specific brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language …

In the present article, the basic research using the mismatch negativity (MMN) and
analogous results obtained by using the magnetoencephalography (MEG) and other brain …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

In speaking and comprehending language, word information is retrieved from memory and
combined into larger units (unification). Unification operations take place in parallel at the …

In the past 30 years there has been a growing body of research using different methods
(behavioural, electrophysiological, neuropsychological, TMS and imaging studies) asking …

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 …

An event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm was used to
specify those brain areas supporting the processing of sentence-level semantic and …

Since its discovery in the 1960s, the P300 has been contributing both directly and indirectly
to language research. Perhaps most notably, it has been suggested that the P600, an ERP …
