Abstract
The calibration method used in this study allows for the examination of distributed, but potentially subtle, representations of semantic information between mechanistic encoding of the language and the EEG. In particular, a horizontal connection between two basic Fundamental Operations (Semantic Composition and Synchronization) is attempted. The experimental results gave significant differences, which can be considered reliable and promising for further investigation. The experiments gave helpful results. Consequently, this method will be tested along with the classification step by appropriate neural network classifiers.
