A Predictive Coding Perspective on Beta Oscillations during Sentence-Level Language Comprehension.

abstract：:Holding biological motion (BM), the movements of animate entities, in working memory (WM) is important to our daily life activities. However, the neural substrates underlying the WM processing of BM remain largely unknown. Employing the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique, the current study directly...
