Processing local pragmatic anomalies in fictional contexts: evidence from the N400.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to investigate whether components of pain event-related potentials (ERPs) are modulated by anxiety. Pain ERPs in response to electrical stimulation were collected from 14 healthy individuals in a neutral condition and a condition where pain-related anxiety was induced. The amplitude of the N1...
