TLDR
A strong modulation of the N400 and three earlier ERP components (P150, N250, and the P325) that the authors propose reflect sequential overlapping steps in the processing of printed words are shown.Abstract:
The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the time course of visual word recognition using a masked repetition priming paradigm. Participants monitored target words for occasional animal names, and ERPs were recorded to nonanimal critical items that were full repetitions, partial repetitions, or unrelated to the immediately preceding masked prime word. The results showed a strong modulation of the N400 and three earlier ERP components (P150, N250, and the P325) that we propose reflect sequential overlapping steps in the processing of printed words.read more

Watching the Word Go by: On the Time-course of Component Processes in Visual Word Recognition.
TL;DR: A functional architecture for word recognition that focuses on how orthographic and phonological information cooperates in initial form-based processing of printed word stimuli prior to accessing semantic information is described.

Cracking the orthographic code: An introduction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss some possible avenues for future research on orthographic processing in the hope of finally "cracking the orthographic code" and discuss how this evidence can guide model selection.

Time course and task dependence of emotion effects in word processing
TL;DR: A later ERP effect of emotion was restricted to lexical and semantic decisions and, thus, appears to indicate more elaborated, task-dependent processing of emotional words.

Tracking Lexical Access in Speech Production: Electrophysiological Correlates of Word Frequency and Cognate Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, an electrophysiological index of lexical access in speech production was established by exploring the locus of the frequency and cognate effects during overt naming during picture-naming tasks, and it was shown that the ERP elicited during the production of high-frequency words diverged from low-frequency ERP between 150 and 200 ms post-target presentation and kept diverging until voice onset.

Dissociating n400 effects of prediction from association in single-word contexts
TL;DR: The results suggest that predictability modulates N400 amplitude to a greater degree than the semantic content of the context.

On methods in the analysis of profile data.
TL;DR: In this article, an approximate procedure based on classical analysis of variance is presented, including an adjustment to the degrees of freedom resulting in conservative F tests, which can be applied to the case where the variance covariance matrices differ from group to group.

The distinct modes of vision offered by feedforward and recurrent processing.
TL;DR: An analysis of response latencies shows that when an image is presented to the visual system, neuronal activity is rapidly routed to a large number of visual areas, but the activity of cortical neurons is not determined by this feedforward sweep alone.

TL;DR: A technique that combines structural and functional MRI with magnetoencephalography (MEG) to obtain spatiotemporal maps of human brain activity with millisecond temporal resolution was used to obtain dynamic statistical parametric maps of cortical activity during semantic processing of visually presented words.
