Researchers also found that when participants read the word producing the functional shift there was no N400 effect indicating that the meaning was accepted but a P600 effect was observed which indicates a positive re-evaluation of the word.

A semantic priming procedure is often used when the N400 is examined (Duncan et al, 2009).

Hence, this study aimed to compare the effects of risperidone and paliperidone on BDNF and the N400 (an event-related brain potential component) component of the event-related brain potential in patients with first-episode schizophrenia.
Effects of Risperidone and Paliperidone on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and N400 in First-Episode Schizophrenia
In addition to our hypotheses for internal and external N400 effects during the study phase, we also believed that, during the test phase, the increase in correct response rates for semantically related word pairs would be accompanied by an FN400 effect in schizophrenia patients, while in healthy controls both early mid-frontal and late parietal old/new effects would be observed for the related stimuli.

The N400 component--a negative wave that occurs between 250 and 500 milliseconds after starting the stimulus, and it peaks around 400ms--was described for the first time in 1980 by Kutas and Hillyard (11,12) while evaluating the reading of incongruous semantically words regarding the context of the sentence presented (7).
N400 analysis of semantic processing in children aged zero to six years: a literature review
We explored the differences of VPP, N200, P300, and N400 between STF-P and F-P; for this purpose, we selected Cz for VPP, P8 for N200, Pz for P300, and Cz for N400; these electrode positions typically contain the largest corresponding ERP components [7,12, 22, 23] and are thus the best examples.
Comparison of the BCI Performance between the Semitransparent Face Pattern and the Traditional Face Pattern
The distribution of this semantic effect resembles a classical N400. This difference of topographical distribution, as well as the different timing of meaning and grammar effects, suggests different neural assemblies are associated with the processing of these two properties of words.

Mas aun, se ha reportado que la amplitud del N400 es inversamente proporcional a la congruencia semantica entre los elementos comparados, de modo que a mayor congruencia, menor es la amplitud del componente, y viceversa.

The consequence of this is that the available surface area is still quite large and this is as measured in STSA testing and suggests an N400 series black in most cases.

One of the most established language-related ERP components is the N400, a negative component starting around 200-250 ms after stimulus onset and peaking at around 400 ms.
Processing sentences with literal versus figurative use of verbs: an ERP study with children with language impairments, nonverbal impairments, and typical development
A team of researchers from CHU Sainte Marguerite and Aix-Marseille Universite, Marseille, France, examined behavioral and electrophysiologic responses to speech by measuring the "N400 effect," an ERP (event-related brain potential) observed in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia that typically is provoked via the subjects' response to unexpected or incongruous words at the end of a sentence.
