A significant body of research in cognitive neuroscience is aimed at understanding how
object concepts are represented in the human brain. However, it remains unknown whether …

We present a methodological approach employing magnetoencephalography (MEG) and
machine learning techniques to investigate the flow of perceptual and semantic information …

How verbal and nonverbal visuoperceptual input connects to semantic knowledge is a core
question in visual and cognitive neuroscience, with significant clinical ramifications. In an …

The theory of embodied semantics for actions specifies that the sensory-motor areas used
for producing an action are also used for the conceptual representation of the same action …

Studies of patients with brain damage suggest that specific brain regions may be
differentially involved in representing/processing certain categories of conceptual …

For a very long time, theorizing in the cognitive sciences was dominated by the assumption
that abstract concepts, which lack a perceivable referent, can only be handled by amodal or …

Since the early days of research into language and the brain, word meaning was assumed
to be processed in specific brain regions, which most modern neuroscientists localize to the …

Traditionally, concepts are conceived as abstract mental entities distinct from perceptual or
motor brain systems. However, recent results let assume modality-specific representations of …

Behavioural and neuropsychological evidence suggests that abstract and concrete concepts
might be represented, retrieved and processed differently in the human brain. Using fMRI …

Conceptual knowledge is central to cognition. Previous neuroimaging research indicates
that conceptual processing involves both modality-specific perceptual-motor areas and …
