Concept representation reflects multimodal abstraction: A framework for embodied semantics
Recent research indicates that sensory and motor cortical areas play a significant role in the
neural representation of concepts. However, little is known about the overall architecture of …

Heteromodal cortical areas encode sensory-motor features of word meaning
The capacity to process information in conceptual form is a fundamental aspect of human
cognition, yet little is known about how this type of information is encoded in the brain …

Toward a brain-based componential semantic representation
Componential theories of lexical semantics assume that concepts can be represented by
sets of features or attributes that are in some sense primitive or basic components of …

Decoding the information structure underlying the neural representation of concepts
The nature of the representational code underlying conceptual knowledge remains a major
unsolved problem in cognitive neuroscience. We assessed the extent to which different …

Objects and their actions: evidence for a neurally distributed semantic system
An influential model of conceptual knowledge claims that objects are represented in a
distributed network of cortical areas that store information about different types of attributes …
