The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

When operating in a complex world, it is essential to have mechanisms that can suppress
distracting information [1, 2]. Such mechanisms might be related to neuronal oscillations …

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 …

As many as two million people in the United Kingdom repeatedly see people, animals, and
objects that have no objective reality. Hallucinations on the border of sleep, dementing …
