Timely insights: What temporal features of neural activity and naming behaviour reveal about word retrieval
About
A doctoral talk on how the brain retrieves words, covering four empirical chapters that use EEG and MEG to study timing in word production. It takes place at Radboud University, Nijmegen, on 9 December 2026 at 10:30.
What to expect
This doctoral work looks at lexical access: how we reach a word's meaning, grammatical properties and sound form before producing it.
- Four empirical chapters address open questions
- Words also elicited from auditory sentences and verbs
- Neural activity measured with EEG and MEG
- Lexical access happens at the millisecond scale
- Word production linked to a left-hemispheric network

What is the research about?
The work studies lexical access, the retrieval of a word's meaning, grammatical properties and phonological form.
Word production was also elicited from auditory sentences and from verbs (actions).
Neural activity was measured with EEG and MEG, techniques sensitive to timing.
