We review the discovery, characterization, and evolving use of the N400, an event-related
brain potential response linked to meaning processing. We describe the elicitation of N400s …

This paper describes recommended methods for the use of event-related brain potentials
(ERPs) in clinical research and reviews applications to a variety of psychiatric and …

The most critical attribute of human language is its unbounded combinatorial nature: smaller
elements can be combined into larger structures on the basis of a grammatical system …

Brain activity in numerous perisylvian brain regions is modulated by the expectedness of
linguistic stimuli. We leverage recent advances in computational parsing models to test what …

We reintroduce a wide-angle view of reading comprehension, the Reading Systems
Framework, which places word knowledge in the center of the picture, taking into account …

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 …

Ten years ago, researchers using event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) to study language
comprehension were puzzled by what looked like a Semantic Illusion: Semantically …

Recent advances in electrodes for noninvasive recording of electroencephalograms expand
opportunities collecting such data for diagnosis of neurological disorders and brain …

Reading times on words in a sentence depend on the amount of information the words
convey, which can be estimated by probabilistic language models. We investigate whether …

In this paper, we show how ElectroEncephaloGraphic (EEG) and
MagnetoEncephaloGraphic (MEG) data can be analyzed statistically using nonparametric …
