Syntax and semantics: We have shown that syntactic and semantic anomalies elicit qualitatively distinct brain responses, suggesting that separable syntactic and semantic processes are involved in language processing.
Sentence parsing as seen through the brain: We have used language-sensitive ERP effects to examine the on-line analysis of sentence structure.
Individual differences in sentence processing: ERP studies of sentence processing have provided evidence of compelling individual differences in sentence parsing.
Brain potentials and gender stereotypes: By combining language-sensitive ERP effects with language itself, one has a powerful tool for examining a wide range of phenomena. For example, we have examined the mental and neural representation of gender-based occupational stereotypes using ERPs.
