Using fast fMRI (whole-brain 10 Hz sampling), we revealed the left hemisphere’s BOLD signal is more delayed by 500 ms when engaging a lexical discrimination task than a non-lexical discrimination task. EEG study on the same subjects suggested such BOLD signal delay is related to the oscillatory power in the beta band.
