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 …

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 …

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 …

This article reviews literature on the characteristics and possible interpretations of the event-
related potential (ERP) peaks commonly identified in research. The description of each peak …

Words have been found to elicit a negative potential at the scalp peaking at∼ 400 ms that is
strongly modulated by semantic context. The current study used whole-head …

The capacity for declarative memory depends on the hippocampal region and adjacent
cortex within the medial temporal lobe. One of the most widely studied examples of …

Dual process theories posit that separate recollection and familiarity processes contribute to
recognition memory. Previous research, testing recognition memory for words, indicates that …

Two related questions critical to understanding the predictive processes that come online
during sentence comprehension are (1) what information is included in the representation …

Measures of electrical brain activity (event-related potentials, ERPs) have been useful in
understanding language processing for several decades. Extant data suggest that the …
