Fast oscillatory dynamics during language comprehension: Unification versus maintenance and prediction?

abstract：:The present study was conducted to investigate relationships between semantic and perceptual levels of representation. A picture-word repetition paradigm was used in which we manipulated the semantic relationship between pictures and words. Experiment 1 involved two types of trials, one with words that had the same me...
