An fMRI Dataset for Concept Representation with Semantic Feature Annotations

Scientific Data, 2022
The neural representation of concepts is a focus of many cognitive neuroscience studies. Prior works studying concept representation with neural imaging data have been largely limited to concrete concepts. The use of relatively small and constrained sets

Embracing complexity: theory, cases and the future of bioethics [PDF]

, 2014
This paper reflects on the relationship between theory and practice in bioethics, by using various concepts drawn from debates on innovation in healthcare research—in particular debates around how best to connect up blue skies ‘basic’ research with ...

The Semantic Richness of Abstract Concepts

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
We contrasted the predictive power of three measures of semantic richness—number of features (NF), contextual dispersion (CD), and a novel measure of number of semantic neighbors (NSN)—for a large set of concrete and abstract concepts on lexical decision

Locality hypothesis and the speed of light [PDF]

, 2006
The locality hypothesis is generally considered necessary for the study of the kinematics of non-inertial systems in special relativity. In this paper we discuss this hypothesis, showing the necessity of an improvement, in order to get a more clear ...

Varieties of abstract concepts and their grounding in perception or action

Open Psychology, 2020
For a very long time, theorizing in the cognitive sciences was dominated by the assumption that abstract concepts, which lack a perceivable referent, can only be handled by amodal or verbal linguistic representations.

Abstract Concepts: Sensory-Motor Grounding, Metaphors, and Beyond [PDF]

, 2011
In the last decade many researchers have obtained evidence for the idea that cognition shares processing mechanisms with perception and action. Most of the evidence supporting the grounded cognition framework focused on representations of concrete ...

Sociality to Reach Objects and to Catch Meaning

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Sociality influences both concrete and abstract concepts acquisition and representation, but in different ways. Here we propose that sociality is crucial during the acquisition of abstract concepts but less for concrete concepts, that have a bounded ...

Odors, words and objects [PDF]

, 2016
The paper focuses on concepts and words referring to odors and to objects that have an odor. We argue that odors are an interesting object of study since they are evanescent, and since odor words do not refer to concrete and manipulable ...
