TLDR
This neurocomputational model is the first to successfully simulate the N400 and P600 amplitude in language comprehension, and simulations with this model provide a proof of concept of the single‐stream RI account of semantically induced patterns of N400and P600 modulations.About:

Modelling the N400 brain potential as change in a probabilistic representation of meaning.
TL;DR: The authors provide a unified explanation of the N400 in a neural network model that avoids the commitments of traditional approaches to meaning in language and connects human language comprehension with recent deep learning approaches to language processing.

Finding syntax in human encephalography with beam search
TL;DR: This article used recurrent neural network grammars (RNNGs) as regressors against human electrophysiological responses to naturalistic text and derived two amplitude effects: an early peak and a P600-like later peak.

A hierarchy of linguistic predictions during natural language comprehension
Micha Heilbron,Micha Heilbron,Kristijan Armeni,Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen,Peter Hagoort,Peter Hagoort,Floris P. de Lange +6 more
TL;DR: This work establishes that brain responses to words are modulated by ubiquitous, probabilistic predictions, and disentangle model-based predictions into distinct dimensions, revealing dissociable signatures of syntactic, phonemic and semantic predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Event-related potentials index lexical retrieval (N400) and integration (P600) during language comprehension.
TL;DR: These findings provide support for an integrated functional interpretation according to which the N400 reflects context-sensitive lexical retrieval - but not integration - processes, and argue that they can be reconciled with the integration view, if spatio-temporal overlap of ERP components is taken into consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI
The P3b and P600(s): Positive contributions to language comprehension
TL;DR: It is argued that grouping ERP responses primarily by domain (language vs. nonlanguage) is likely to be misleading and alternative ways of determining whether ERP effects reflect similar or different processing mechanisms are suggested.

Learning representations by back-propagating errors
TL;DR: Back-propagation repeatedly adjusts the weights of the connections in the network so as to minimize a measure of the difference between the actual output vector of the net and the desired output vector, which helps to represent important features of the task domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding Structure in Time
TL;DR: A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cortical organization of speech processing
Gregory Hickok,David Poeppel +1 more
TL;DR: A dual-stream model of speech processing is outlined that assumes that the ventral stream is largely bilaterally organized — although there are important computational differences between the left- and right-hemisphere systems — and that the dorsal stream is strongly left- Hemisphere dominant.

Reading senseless sentences: brain potentials reflect semantic incongruity
Marta Kutas,Steven A. Hillyard +1 more
TL;DR: In a sentence reading task, words that occurred out of context were associated with specific types of event-related brain potentials that elicited a late negative wave (N400).

Roberto Cabeza,Lars Nyberg +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of regional activations across cognitive domains suggested that several brain regions, including the cerebellum, are engaged by a variety of cognitive challenges.
