Word class and context affect alpha-band oscillatory dynamics in an older population

Word class and context affect alpha-band oscillatory dynamics in an older population

Differences in the oscillatory EEG dynamics of reading open class and closed class words have previously been found (Bastiaansen et al., 2005) and are thought to reflect differences in lexical-semantic content between these word classes. In particular, the theta band (4–7 Hz) seems to play a promine...
