Our capacity to use tools and objects is often considered one of the hallmarks of the human
species. Many objects greatly extend our bodily capabilities to act in the physical world, such …

According to the embodied cognition view, comprehending action-related language requires
the participation of sensorimotor processes. A now sizeable literature has tested this …

According to grounded cognition, words whose semantics contain sensory‐motor features
activate sensory‐motor simulations, which, in turn, interact with spatial responses to produce …

Neurobiology of Language explores the study of language, a field that has seen tremendous
progress in the last two decades. Key to this progress is the accelerating trend toward …

The relationship between the brain's conceptual or semantic and sensory–motor systems
remains controversial. Here, we tested manual and conceptual abilities of 41 chronic stroke …

Research into embodied cognition (EC) in cognitive neuroscience and psychology has risen
exponentially over the last 25 years, covering a vast area of research; from understanding …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applied over the primary motor cortex (M1), elicits
motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) in contralateral limb muscles which are valuable indicators …

Soundscape plays a positive, health-related role in urban forests, and there is a competitive
allocation of cognitive resources between soundscapes and lightscapes. This study aimed …

Despite decades of research, the nature of the involvement of the motor system in action
language processing is still controversial, and little is known about how processing action …

Controversy persists regarding the representation of linguistically negated actions,
specifically concerning activation and inhibitory mechanisms in the motor system, and …
