declines in central auditory processes and the consequences of any such declines for …

ABSTRACT A core assumption in the current neurosemantic research is that meanings of
concrete words (object nouns, action verbs) are at least partially grounded in modality …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

Emerging evidence indicates impairments in somatosensory function may be a major
contributor to motor dysfunction associated with neurologic injury or disorders. However, the …

Why do people go to the movies? What does it mean to watch a movie? To what extent is the

Whether primary sensory cortices are essentially multisensory or whether they respond to
only one sense is an emerging debate in neuroscience. Here we use a multivariate pattern …

Our present understanding of the neural mechanisms and sensorimotor transformations that
govern the planning of arm and eye movements predominantly come from invasive parieto …

Embodied cognition and evolutionary educational psychology perspectives suggest pointing
