Right Hemisphere Activation during Indirect Semantic Priming: Evidence from Event-Related Potentials
TLDR
The hypothesis that the right hemisphere semantic system is involved in processing of remote semantic information is supported by the results of a semantic priming paradigm study on healthy subjects.About:

Imaging cognition: An empirical review of pet studies with normal subjects
Roberto Cabeza,Lars Nyberg +1 more
TL;DR: PET studies of higher-order cognitive processes, including attention (sustained and selective), perception (of objects, faces, and locations), language (word listening, reading, and production), working memory (phonological and visuo-spatial), semantic memory retrieval, episodic memory retrieval (verbal and nonverbal), priming, and procedural memory are reviewed.

The face-sensitive N170 and VPP components manifest the same brain processes: The effect of reference electrode site
Carrie A. Joyce,Bruno Rossion +1 more
TL;DR: The VPP and N170 are two 'faces' of the same brain generators and differential N170/VPP effects observed in ERP studies can be accounted for by differences in reference methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotion and Intuition Effects of Positive and Negative Mood on Implicit Judgments of Semantic Coherence
TL;DR: It is concluded that positive mood potentiates spread ofactivation to weak or remote associates in memory, thereby improving intuitive coherence judgments, and negative mood appears to restrict spread of activation to close associates and dominant word meanings, thus impairing intuitive coherent judgments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The N400 is modulated by unconsciously perceived masked words: further evidence for an automatic spreading activation account of N400 priming effects.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that N400 priming effects can be reliably obtained from unconsciously perceived masked words at a very short SOA and strengthens the notion that the N400 is modulated by automatic spreading activation and not exclusively by strategic semantic processes.

A spreading-activation theory of semantic processing
TL;DR: The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.

Reading senseless sentences: brain potentials reflect semantic incongruity

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).
