The cognitive neuroscience of language aims at revealing how linguistic information is
represented and manipulated in the brain to enable communication and meaningful …

Background Studies that use nonlinear methods to identify abnormal brain dynamics in
patients with psychiatric disorders are limited. This study investigated brain dynamics based …

Calzavarini challenges the view that the meaning of concrete words is grounded in modality-
specific sensorimotor cortices on the basis that the corresponding cortical areas have been …

The temporal dynamics within the semantic brain network and its dependence on stimulus
and task parameters are still not well understood. Here, we addressed this by decoding task …

Multidimensional connectivity methods are critical to reveal the full pattern of complex
interactions between brain regions over time. However, to date only bivariate …

In this thesis, I examined the influence of task and context on the semantic processing of
single words in isolation and in a sentence context. In one study, I considered task effects on …

Functional and effective connectivity methods are key to understanding how brain regions
interplay to perform complex cognitive processes. Yet, most current connectivity methods …
