The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

Respiratory sensations motivate humans to behaviorally modulate their breathing and are
the sensory urge component of the respiratory motivation-to-action neural system. Human …

As the title suggests, the subject of this book is the emergence of complexity and the mind,
focusing on the role of top-down causation. The aim is to engage with the complexity of the …

To what extent does language production activate cross-modal conceptual representations?
In picture naming, we view specific exemplars of concepts and then name them with a label …

Visual analysis of faces and nonfacial body stimuli brings about neural activity in different
cortical areas. Moreover, processing body form and body action relies on distinct neural …

Based on our previous work, we expected the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) in the left
ventral visual pathway to be engaged by both whole-word recognition and by serial …

Listening and reading comprehension of paragraph-length material are considered higher-
order language skills fundamental to social and academic functioning. Using ecologically …

Reading is a highly complex process in which integrative neurocognitive functions are
required. Visual-spatial abilities play a pivotal role because of the multi-faceted visual …

Intracranial EEG studies in humans have shown that functional brain activation in a variety of
functional–anatomic domains of human cortex is associated with an increase in power at a …

Embodied and grounded cognition theories have assumed that the sensorimotor system is
causally involved in processing motor-related language content. Although a causal proof on …
