摘　　要：To investigate the neural mechanism of semantic representation and color context binding,we used electroencephalograph time frequency and coherence analyses to reveal local and long-range functional coupling in the encoding and retrieval phases of episodic memory.Fifteen undergraduates participated in the experiment and middle-frequency double-character Chinese words were used as stimuli in two types of study-test tasks (context recall and context recognition tests).Significant differences between item+context and item in the encoding phase were observed at the electrodes in the frontal region at 600-800 ms by time frequency analysis.Further differences were observed at 800 ms by independent component analysis:the frontal component and the coherent component of the triangle phase locking structure among the prefrontal,right parietal and left parietal-occipital regions.In the retrieval phase,differences between item+context and item were found on the electrodes at the central parietal and parietal-occipital regions at 400 ms by time frequency analysis,on the parietal-occipital component at 800 ms by independent component analysis and on the coherence component of the anterior right hemisphere and parietal-occipital regions at 1400 ms.In conclusion,the different effects of encoding and retrieval processing on 'binding' are reflected by the differing extents that brain regions engaged in cognitive operations.In the retrieval phase in particular,activities of the parietal-occipital region were specifically associated with 'binding',and coherence between frontal and temporal-parietal regions is a common brain activity in episodic memory.To investigate the neural mechanism of semantic representation and color context binding, we used electroencephalograph time frequency and coherence analyses to reveal local and long-range functional coupling in the encoding and retrieval phases of epi- sodic memory. Fifteen undergraduates participated in the experiment and middle-frequency double-character Chinese words were used as stimuli in two types of study-test tasks （context recall and context recognition tests）. Significant differences between item＋context and item in the encoding phase were observed at the electrodes in the frontal region at 600-800 ms by time fre- quency analysis. Further differences were observed at 800 ms by independent component analysis： the frontal component and the coherent component of the triangle phase locking structure among the prefrontal, right parietal and left parietal-occipital regions. In the retrieval phase, differences between item＋context and item were found on the electrodes at the central parietal and parie- tal-occipital regions at 400 ms by time frequency analysis, on the parietal-occipital component at 800 ms by independent compo- nent analysis and on the coherence component of the anterior right hemisphere and parietal-occipital regions at 1400 ms. In conclusion, the different effects of encoding and retrieval processing on ＇binding＇ are reflected by the differing extents that brain regions engaged in cognitive operations. In the retrieval phase in particular, activities of the parietal-occipital region were specifically associated with ＇binding＇, and coherence between frontal and temporal-parietal regions is a common brain activity in episodic memory.
