Representation of concepts in health & neurodegenerative disease: a subject-specific multivariate approach based on representational similarity analysis using fMRI and MEG KU Leuven
During this project, we want to investigate how concrete entities (animals, objects) are represented in the human brain. We will examine healthy controls and patients suffering from neurodegenerative disease. In our previous work, we discovered that when the meaning of words is more alike, the brain response patterns in the left temporal lobe are also more alike. We performed these studies on large groups of healthy young volunteers. Now, we ...
