Investigating the Spatio-Temporal Signatures of Language Control-Related Brain Synchronization Processes.

ABSTRACT: Language control processes allow for the flexible manipulation and access to context-appropriate verbal representations. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have localized the brain regions involved in language control processes usually by comparing high vs. low lexical-semantic control conditions during verbal tasks. Yet, the spectro-temporal dynamics of associated brain processes remain unexplored, preventing a proper understanding of the neural bases of language control mechanisms. To do so, we recorded functional brain activity using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and fMRI, while 30 healthy participants performed a silent verb generation (VGEN) and a picture naming (PN) task upon confrontation with pictures requiring low or high lexical-semantic control processes. fMRI c
