Theta synchronization predicts efficient memory encoding of concrete and abstract nouns

摘要: Functional and topographical differences between processing of spoken nouns which were remembered or forgotten shown by means EEG coherence analysis. Later recalled related with increased neuronal synchronization (= cooperation) anterior posterior brain regions regardless presented word category (either concrete abstract nouns). However, theta exhibited during encoding whereby former higher short-range (mainly intrahemispheric), later long-range interhemispheric) coherence. Thus, possibly is a general phenomenon always occurring if task demand increases more efficient information required. Measurement yields new about the interaction involved memory different classes.
