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

In traditional theories of language comprehension, syntactic and semantic processing are
inextricably linked. This assumption has been challenged by the 'Semantic Illusion …

Sentence processing theories typically assume that the input to our language processing
mechanisms is an error-free sequence of words. However, this assumption is an …

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 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 …

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 …

In order to test the language-specificity of a known neural correlate of syntactic processing
[the P600 event-related brain potential (ERP) component], this study directly compared …

Publisher Summary In 1994, there were only two dominant noninvasive techniques to offer
insight about the functional organization of language from its brain bases: the behavior of …

Emotional words are preferentially processed during silent reading. Here, we investigate to
what extent different components of the visual evoked potential, namely the P1, N1, the early …

The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the brain distinguishes between two
types of conceptual relationships between noun-phrases (NPs) and verbs during online …
