Interessi di ricerca |
|
We focus on our knowledge about other people as well as things in general to try and get a better understanding of how the conceptual primitives are combined and to form a meaningful systems-level model of factual knowledge. This model will be refined and tested over the remaining years – assessing aspects of semantic representation that affect us both as individuals and as a society. |

Attività di ricerca |
|
We address our research goals though fMRI and MEG, cutting edge analysis (a lot of MVPA/RSA) as well as some novel approaches and analytic strategies. Additionally we are incorporating more and more of the tools of computational linguistics (Coprus bases and deep learning) to inform our paradigms and analysis. |
