Topography of the N400: brain electrical activity reflecting semantic expectancy.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
When subjects read an semantically unexpected word, the brain electrical activity shows a negative deflection at about 400 msec in comparison with the response to an expected word, and the brain systems related to this effect were mapped with a dense electrode array and two reference-independent measures.
