Masked priming is used in psycholinguistic studies to assess questions about lexical access and representation. We present two masked priming experiments using MEG. If the MEG signal elicited by words reflects specific aspects of lexical retrieval, then one expects to identify specific neural correlates of retrieval that are sensitive to priming. To date, the electrophysiological evidence has b...

Complex sounds, especially natural sounds, can be parametrically characterized by many acoustic and perceptual features, one among which is temporal modulation. Temporal modulations describe changes of a sound in amplitude (amplitude modulation, AM) or in frequency (frequency modulation, FM). AM and FM are fundamental components of communication sounds, such as human speech and speciesspecific ...

Syntactic factors can rapidly affect behavioral and neural responses during language processing; however, the mechanisms that allow this rapid extraction of syntactically relevant information remain poorly understood. We addressed this issue using magnetoencephalography and found that an unexpected word category (e.g., “The recently princess . . . ”) elicits enhanced activity in visual cortex a...

This paper shows that a policy that uniformly increases contestants’ e¤ort costs can lead to an increase in total e¤ort. In asymmetric settings, this “levels the playing …eld”and therefore encourages weaker players (who otherwise would have stayed out) to enter. Paradoxically, a contest designer whose only objective is to maximize total e¤ort may thus wish to make rent-seeking “more di¢ cult.” ...

Several neuroimaging studies reported that a common set of regions is recruited during action observation and execution and it has been proposed that the modulation of the μ rhythm, in terms of oscillations in the alpha and beta bands might represent the electrophysiological correlate of the underlying brain mechanisms. However, the specific functional role of these bands within the μ rhythm is...

The MEG Experiment searches for a lepton flavour violating decay, μ → eγ , with a branching-ratio sensitivity of 10 in order to explore the parameter region predicted by many theoretical models beyond the Standard Model. Detector construction and the Engineering Run were completed in 2007, and the first Physics Run will be carried out in 2008. In this paper, the prospects of MEG Physics Run in ...
