Temporal coding of conceptual distances in the human language area

The paper shows that semantic distances between concepts are encoded in the temporal frequency of EEG oscillations in the left language region, not in amplitude, and reveals concept-based processing over feature-based processing.

Combinatorial binding of semantic information through the sharing of neural oscillatory signals

The paper shows that semantic unification in language processing occurs through neural oscillatory signals in the left temporo-parietal cortex, as evidenced by coherent responses to semantically congruent sentences.

Harmonic memory signals in the human cerebral cortex induced by sematic relatedness of words

The paper investigates how semantic relatedness affects neural oscillations during verbal working memory, finding that related words produce harmonic brain signals while unrelated words produce irregular signals.

Temporal codes of visual working memory in the human cerebral cortex

This study identifies alpha and beta band oscillations as predictors of visual working memory capacity by analyzing inter-peak intervals in human participants.

Desynchronizing to be faster? Perceptual- and attentional-modulation of brain rhythms in sub-millisecond scale

The paper shows that visual stimulation and attention increase the regularity and speed of alpha/beta rhythms in the visual cortex by reducing inter-peak interval variance and mean.
