This study uses MEG to investigate how early visual cortex supports lexical and semantic processing in sighted and blind individuals, finding task-specific decoding differences in occipital areas.

The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of abstract and concrete semantic representations using MEG, finding early frontotemporal activation for both and later occipito-temporal responses to concrete features.

The paper investigates shape representation in the human brain by comparing early blind and sighted participants, finding that the inferolateral occipitotemporal cortex (ILOTC) encodes shape information independently of visual experience.

The paper investigates semantic and morphological priming in natural sentence reading using eye movements and EEG, finding semantic facilitation but no morphological priming effect.

The paper investigates neural responses to narrative and argumentative texts using fMRI, finding shared and distinct brain network activations.

The paper investigates how color and orientation features affect semantic processing of fruits, vegetables, and tools using behavioral and neural measures, finding color is critical for natural categories.

The paper shows that a general-purpose visual learning mechanism underlies both reading and non-orthographic visual stimuli recognition.

The paper investigates how abstract and concrete knowledge is organized and retrieved in the anterior temporal lobe, finding that a dorsal-to-medial gradient emerges late in word processing with semantic information converging in the ATL.
