Electrophysiological evidence for the action of a center-surround mechanism on semantic processing in the left hemisphere

Electrophysiological evidence for the action of a center-surround mechanism on semantic processing in the left hemisphere

Physiological evidence was sought for a center-surround attentional mechanism (CSM), which has been proposed to assist in the retrieval of weakly activated items from semantic memory.
