What does semantic tiling of the cortex tell us about semantics? [PDF]
Recent use of voxel-wise modeling in cognitive neuroscience suggests that semantic maps tile the cortex. Although this impressive research establishes distributed cortical areas active during the conceptual processing that underlies semantics, it tells ...

Theories of understanding others: the need for a new account and the guiding role of the person model theory [PDF]
What would be an adequate theory of social understanding? In the last decade, the philosophical debate has focused on Theory Theory, Simulation Theory and Interaction Theory as the three possible candidates. In the following, we look carefully at each of

An introduction to time-resolved decoding analysis for M/EEG
The human brain is constantly processing and integrating information in order to make decisions and interact with the world, for tasks from recognizing a familiar face to playing a game of tennis.

Individual Differences in Eye-Movements During Reading: Working Memory and Speed-of-Processing Effects [PDF]
Mathematical models of eye-movement control do not yet incorporate individual differences as a source of variation in reading. These models nonetheless provide an excellent foundation for describing and explaining how and why patterns of eye-movements ...

The influence of eye position on the animacy impression of a cube-shaped robot in motion
Human observers can sometimes attribute animacy or agency to non-living objects, such as robots, perceiving them as if they were alive. In particular, the movement pattern of non-living things is a key feature for perceiving life.

Do we sense modalities with our sense modalities?1 [PDF]
It has been widely assumed that we do not perceive dispositional properties. I argue that there are two ways of interpreting this assumption. On the first, extensional, interpretation whether we perceive dispositions depends on a complex set of ...

Cognitive control and discourse comprehension in schizophrenia. [PDF]
Cognitive deficits across a wide range of domains have been consistently observed in schizophrenia and are linked to poor functional outcome (Green, 1996; Carter, 2006). Language abnormalities are among the most salient and include disorganized speech as

Perceived Displacement explains Wolfpack Effect
We investigate the influence of perceived displacement of moving agent-like stimuli on the performance in dynamic interactive tasks. In order to reliably measure perceived displacement we utilize multiple tasks with different task demands.

Perceptual Parameters, Animacy and Reference Frames in the Semantics of "Opposite" and "In Front of" [PDF]
In this paper we combine topological and dynamicity analysis with other parameters li ke reference frames, animacy, and function, in order to depict the polysemy of two prepositions that express spatial relationships along the horizontal axis, namely,
