Using an encoding model based on 65 experiential features to describe each individual concept, we found that, in both sets of regions, the model could decode both kinds of concepts, even when it was trained with concepts in one category and tested with concepts in the other.

Different kinds of individual concepts—from concrete objects to social events—can be decoded from brain activity based on the same (interpretable!) representational code: our new study in JNeuro. doi.org/10.1523/jneuro… PDF: tinyurl.com/msr3zzrd

Studies of individuals with brain injury and functional neuroimaging experiments appeared to indicate that concepts for events ("wedding", "storm") and for concrete objects ("spoon", "horse") were partially represented in mutually exclusive brain regions.

I'm extremely excited to launch the relational cognition lab at UC Irvine: relcoglab.org We study learning and memory in mind, brains and machines. I am open to collaborations and hiring a lab technician in January 2025 (job ad soon). Reach out to chat!

Participants read a series of words belonging to different semantic categories during fMRI. Voxelwise and multivoxel pattern analyses converged on the same locations: the posterior middle temporal gyrus and the supramarginal gyrus.

Last week it was announced that NRC Member @lfernandino received a $2M grant from @NIDCD for his pioneering work in neurology! This important research will help develop interventions for communication impairments from stroke and other injuries. Congrats, Dr. Fernandino!🥳

We'll be hiring a half-time post bacc study coordinator for the lab to replace excellent Troy Holsworth, who's starting med school soon. (yay Troy!) The ad will be posted "shortly" (in institutional times), but email me if you're interested!
