Language: The N400 in Semantic Incongruity

Source: Laboratories of Sarah I. Gimbel and Jonas T. Kaplan— University of Southern California Understanding language is one of the most complex cognitive tasks that humans are capable of. Given the incredible amount of possible choices when combining individual words to form meaning in sentences, it is crucial that the brain is able to identify when words form coherent combinations and when an anomaly appears that undermines meaning. Extensive research has shown that certain scalp-recorded...

Interaction between Phonological and Semantic Processes in Visual Word Recognition using Electrophysiology

We present a protocol to explore the relative activation sequence of phonology and semantics in visual word recognition. The results show that consistent with interactive accounts, semantic and phonological representations may be processed interactively, and higher-level linguistic representations may affect early processing.

The analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC) sample cell holds sample and reference buffer and during experiments and is exposed to high vacuum and rotor speeds up to 60,000 rpm. This video will demonstrate the rigorous attention to detail necessary for assembly, loading and alignment of this very important component of an AUC experiment.

This protocol demonstrates the use of a microfluidic channel with changing geometry along the fluid flow direction to generate extensional strain (stretching) to align fibers in a 3D collagen hydrogel (<250 µm in thickness). The resulting alignment extends across several millimeters and is influenced by the extensional strain rate.
FAQs
It compares the concepts, relationships, terminology, and assumptions used by different people, models, data structures, or software systems. A mismatch may occur when identical terms carry different meanings or when different terms describe the same concept. Detecting these discrepancies makes ambiguity visible before it affects requirements, interfaces, system models, or collaborative engineering decisions.
Shared definitions establish what technical terms and concepts mean, while mappings connect equivalent or related concepts across representations. Ontologies provide a more structured account of those concepts and relationships. Together, these mechanisms help preserve intended meaning when information moves between teams, models, or software systems, supporting consistent interpretation and interoperability.
The process examines how each representation organizes concepts and relationships, then establishes correspondences between them. These correspondences clarify how information in one model or interface relates to information in another. By making those relationships explicit, engineering teams can maintain traceability and reduce errors that arise when data is transferred or interpreted through different technical structures.
Unaligned terminology and assumptions can cause people, models, or systems to interpret the same information differently. In engineering work, those differences may create hidden conflicts, weaken traceability, and make collaboration less reliable. Addressing them early helps teams coordinate complex technical systems and reduces errors caused by miscommunication rather than by the underlying design.
A practical workflow begins by comparing the concepts, relationships, terminology, and assumptions used by the participating teams or systems. The team then identifies mismatches and establishes shared definitions, mappings, or ontologies. Applying those agreements across requirements, models, and interfaces creates a consistent basis for traceability, interoperability, and ongoing collaboration.
It is especially relevant to requirements engineering, systems integration, and model-based design. In requirements work, it supports consistent interpretation and traceability; during integration, it helps different software systems exchange information with compatible meaning; and in model-based design, it connects representations so teams can coordinate complex technical systems more reliably.
