The present study investigated oscillatory brain dynamics during self-paced sentence-level processing. Participants read fully correct sentences, sentences containing a semantic violation and "sentences" in which the order of the words was randomized. At the target word level, fixations on semantically unrelated words elicited a lower-beta band (13-18 Hz) desynchronization. At the sentence leve...

In this paper, we focus on the problem of unsupervised image-sentence matching. Existing research explores to utilize document-level structural information sample positive and negative instances for model training. Although approach achieves results, it introduces a sampling bias fails distinguish with high semantic similarity. To alleviate bias, propose new strategy select additional intra-doc...

In this study, we used electroencephalography to investigate the influence of discourse-level semantic coherence on electrophysiological signatures of local sentence-level processing. Participants read groups of four sentences that could either form coherent stories or were semantically unrelated. For semantically coherent discourses compared to incoherent ones, the N400 was smaller at sentence...
