Current theories of language comprehension posit that readers and listeners routinely try to
predict the meaning but also the visual or sound form of upcoming words. Whereas most …

Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

The neurodevelopmental period spanning early-to-middle childhood represents a time of
significant growth and reorganisation throughout the cortex. Such changes are critical for the …

A hallmark of electrophysiological brain activity is its 1/f-like spectrum–power decreases with
increasing frequency. The steepness of this 'roll-off'is approximated by the spectral …

Research in cognitive neuroscience has extensively demonstrated that the temporal
dynamics of brain activity are associated with cognitive functioning. The temporal dynamics …

Alpha-band oscillatory activity in human electroencephalography (EEG) becomes slower
and lower in amplitude with advanced age. However, the influence of aperiodic activity on …

Efficient information processing facilitates cognition and may be disrupted in a number of
neurodevelopmental conditions. And yet, the role of inefficient information processing and its …

Age-related structural and functional changes that occur during brain development are
critical for cortical development and functioning. Previous electroencephalography (EEG) …

Electrophysiological power spectra typically consist of two components: An aperiodic part
usually following an 1/f power law P∝ 1/f β and periodic components appearing as spectral …

Objective The present mini-review summarizes recent clinical findings related to the analysis
of the aperiodic component of EEG (electroencephalographic) power spectra, making them …
