Sentence comprehension occurs very rapidly, and can only be understood at a mechanistic level by discovering the precise sequence of underlying computational and neural events. However, we have no continuous and online neural measure of sentence processing with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here we report just such a measure: intracranial recordings from the surface of the human brain show that neural activity, indexed by $\gamma$-power, increases monotonically over the course of a sentence as people read it. This steady increase in activity is absent when people read and remember nonword-lists, despite the higher cognitive demand entailed, ruling out accounts in terms of generic attention, working memory, and cognitive load. Response increases are lower for sentence structure without meaning (``Jabberwocky'' sentences) and word meaning without sentence structure (word-lists), showing that this effect is not explained by responses to syntax or word meaning alone. Instead, the full effect is found only for sentences, implicating compositional processes of sentence understanding, a striking and unique feature of human language not shared with animal communication systems. This work opens up new avenues for investigating the sequence of neural events that underlie the construction of linguistic meaning.1 aFedorenko, Evelina1 aScott, Terri, L.1 aBrunner, Peter1 aCoon, William, G.1 aPritchett, Brianna1 aSchalk, Gerwin1 aKanwisher, Nancy  uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2767164201886nas a2200397   4500008004100000245009000041210006900131260001200200300001300212490000700225520069800232653001800930653003100948653002500979653004301004653003201047653002101079653002201100653001801122100001801140700001901158700002201177700002001199700002501219700002101244700001601265700001901281700001901300700001901319700002001338700002401358700001801382700002101400700001901421856004801440       2013                        eng d00aProceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Advances in Electrocorticography.0 aProceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Advances in   c11/2013  a259–680 v293 aThe Fourth International Workshop on Advances in Electrocorticography (ECoG) convened in New Orleans, LA, on October 11–12, 2012. The proceedings of the workshop serves as an accurate record of the most contemporary clinical and experimental work on brain surface recording and represents the insights of a unique multidisciplinary ensemble of expert clinicians and scientists. Presentations covered a broad range of topics, including innovations in passive functional mapping, increased understanding of pathologic high-frequency oscillations, evolving sensor technologies, a human trial of ECoG-driven brain–machine interface, as well as fresh insights into brain electrical stimulation.10aBrain Mapping10aBrain–computer interface10aElectrocorticography10aGamma-frequency electroencephalography10aHigh-frequency oscillations10aNeuroprosthetics10aSeizure detection10aSubdural grid1 aRitaccio, A L1 aBrunner, Peter1 aCrone, Nathan, E.1 aGunduz, Aysegul1 aHirsch, Lawrence, J.1 aKanwisher, Nancy1 aLitt, Brian1 aMiller, Kai, J1 aMorani, Daniel1 aParvizi, Josef1 aRamsey, Nick, F1 aRichner, Thomas, J.1 aTandon, Niton1 aWilliams, Justin1 aSchalk, Gerwin  uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24034899
