The interpretation of mu suppression as an index of mirror neuron activity: past, present and future
HM Hobson, DVM Bishop - Royal Society open science, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Mu suppression studies have been widely used to infer the activity of the human mirror
neuron system (MNS) in a number of processes, ranging from action understanding …

The power of neural oscillations to inform sentence comprehension: A linguistic perspective
Y Prystauka, AG Lewis - Language and Linguistics Compass, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The field of psycholinguistics is currently experiencing an explosion of interest in the
analysis of neural oscillations—rhythmic brain activity synchronized at different temporal and …

Brain inhibitory mechanisms are involved in the processing of sentential negation, regardless of its content. Evidence from EEG theta and beta rhythms
The two-step process account of negation understanding posits an initial representation of
the negated events, followed by a representation of the actual state of events. On the other …

Riding the (brain) waves! Using neural oscillations to inform bilingualism research
The study of the brains' oscillatory activity has been a standard technique to gain insights
into human neurocognition for a relatively long time. However, as a complementary analysis …

How meaning unfolds in neural time: Embodied reactivations can precede multimodal semantic effects during language processing
Research on how the brain construes meaning during language use has prompted two
conflicting accounts. According to the 'grounded view', word understanding involves quick …

[HTML][HTML] Predictability alters information flow during action observation in human electrocorticographic activity
The action observation network (AON) has been extensively studied using short, isolated
motor acts. How activity in the network is altered when these isolated acts are embedded in …

[HTML][HTML] The neural inhibition network is causally involved in the disembodiment effect of linguistic negation
Negation applied to action contexts reduces the activation of the motor system. According to
the Reusing Inhibition for Negation (RIN) hypothesis, such “disembodiment” effect occurs …

Enhancing motor brain activity improves memory for action language: A tDCS study
The embodied cognition approach to linguistic meaning posits that action language
understanding is grounded in sensory–motor systems. However, evidence that the human …

Brain dynamics in the comprehension of action-related language. A time-frequency analysis of mu rhythms
Abstract EEG mu rhythms (8–13 Hz) recorded at fronto-central electrodes are generally
considered as markers of motor cortical activity in humans, because they are modulated …
