Abstract

This chapter introduces and guides the readers to the second part of this book, starting with a short summary of basic principles of neurophysiology and moving to surveying the past, existing, and future advances of electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography applied to study language. In particular, we review the basic physics principles exploited for data acquisition, and briefly introduce the resulting main functional measures: evoked responses, brain oscillations, and connectivity. Furthermore, we discuss how novel approaches, namely, functional dynamic connectivity and multimodal imaging can foster knowledge on language-related neural functioning. Finally, we overview the frontiers of ecological and comprehensive MEEG settings that promise to optimally suit speech and language research.
