A Semantic Model to Study Neural Organization of Language in Bilingualism

Figure 3

Temporal pattern of neuron activity in the feature areas representing the object (a) and (b) and in the lexical area (c) and (d) in the same simulations as in Figure 2, in case of weak training (a) and (c) and in case of strong training (b) and (d). All object features oscillate in synchronism in the gamma band (about 40 Hz). The L2 word, stimulated from an external input, exhibits quite a constant activity close to maximal saturation (red line) while the L1 word, triggered by the object representation, exhibits a significant activity in the gamma band (blue line).
