EEG data in the tasks of misinformed sentence reading

The present study assumes that the two indispensable meaning factors, the Familiarity and the Outcome of a substance in misinformation, might affect the neural responses of sentence processing and trustworthiness validation. The behavioral and EPRs data support this assumption. It demonstrated that participants tend to rate the perceived trustworthiness around a happy medium, yet the score of Unfamiliar stimuli was slightly higher than the Familiar. The onset of an Unfamiliar subject elicited more negative N400 at a left occipital site, and a word rendering a Good Outcome elevated N400 at a right occipital site. At the same time, a Familiar subject elicited higher LPC on the right peripheral lines from the temporal-parietal lobe to the occipital in contrast to an Unfamiliar Term. Furthermore, the amplitudes of N400 observed on some sites strongly correlated with the trustworthiness scores, wherein the more negative N400 was evoked, the less trustworthy a statement rated.
