The neural oscillations of speech processing and language comprehension: state of the art and emerging mechanisms

L Meyer - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Neural oscillations subserve a broad range of functions in speech processing and language
comprehension. On the one hand, speech contains—somewhat—repetitive trains of air …

A predictive coding framework for rapid neural dynamics during sentence-level language comprehension

AG Lewis, M Bastiaansen - Cortex, 2015 - Elsevier
There is a growing literature investigating the relationship between oscillatory neural
