(2019-12-17)
¿Es posible asociar diferentes cantidades de procesamiento semántico a diferentes efectos de ambigüedad semántica? ¿Podría la dinámica temporal del procesamiento semántico por lo tanto explicar algunos de los efectos ...
Oscillatory characterization of sensory wordform pre-activation in the visual and auditory domains.
(2019-11-29)
Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental cognitive mechanism. However, empirical data regarding the neural correlates of the predictions themselves are still scarce. One outstanding question, especially within the ...
