We found a robust index of neurolexical memory-trace formation: a rapid enhancement of the brain's activation elicited by novel words during a short (~ 30 min) perceptual exposure, underpinned by fronto-temporal cortical networks, and, importantly, correlated with behavioural learning outcomes. Crucially, this neural memory trace build-up took place regardless of focused attention on the input or any pre-existing or learnt semantics.
Attentional cocktail-party selection decoded from 60 seconds of EEG→
/Nice stimulus reconstruction work—looks like a serious collaborative effort (Lalor, Shamma, Shinn-Cunningham, Foxe, Mesgarani, and others).
Human tonotopic organization using EMEG→
/Source-localized MEG/EEG responses to single words show tonotopic gradients in temporal cortex.
