Semantic surprise predicts the N400 brain potential
NeuroImage: Reports, 2023 Language is central to human life; however, how our brains derive meaning from language is still not well understood. A commonly studied electrophysiological measure of on-line meaning related processing is the N400 component, the computational basis of ...

A predictive coding model of the N400 [PDF]
Cognition, 2023 AbstractThe N400 event-related component has been widely used to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying real-time language comprehension. However, despite decades of research, there is still no unifying theory that can explain both its temporal dynamics and functional properties.

Development of the N400 for Word Learning in the First 2 Years of Life: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 The N400 ERP component is a direct neural index of word meaning. Studies show that the N400 component is already present in early infancy, albeit often delayed.

Electrocortical N400 Effects of Semantic Satiation [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Semantic satiation is characterised by the subjective and temporary loss of meaning after high repetition of a prime word. To study the nature of this effect, previous electroencephalography (EEG) research recorded the N400, an ERP component that is ...

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018 Background For nearly four decades, the N400 has been an important brainwave marker of semantic processing. It can be recorded non-invasively from the scalp using electrical and/or magnetic sensors, but largely within the restricted domain of research ...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 Although the N400 was originally discovered in a paradigm designed to elicit a P300 (Kutas and Hillyard, 1980), its relationship with the P300 and how both overlapping event-related potentials (ERPs) determine behavioral profiles is still elusive.

Chinese Medical Journal, 2018 Background: Risperidone and paliperidone have been the mainstay treatment for schizophrenia and their potential role in neuroprotection could be associated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and N400 (an event-related brain potential component)

So Cloze Yet So Far: N400 Amplitude Is Better Predicted by Distributional Information Than Human Predictability Judgements [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, 2021 More predictable words are easier to process—they are read faster and elicit smaller neural signals associated with processing difficulty, most notably, the N400 component of the event-related brain potential. Thus, it has been argued that the prediction

The Levels of Auditory Processing during Emotional Perception in Children with Autism
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2023 Background: The perception of basic emotional sounds, such as crying and laughter is associated with effective interpersonal communication. Difficulties with the perception and analysis of sounds that complicate understanding emotions at an early ...

Strong Prediction: Language Model Surprisal Explains Multiple N400 Effects
Neurobiology of Language, 2023 Theoretical accounts of the N400 are divided as to whether the amplitude of the N400 response to a stimulus reflects the extent to which the stimulus was predicted, the extent to which the stimulus is semantically similar to its preceding context, or ...
