A neurocircuit loop in multimodal semantic integration was recently found by a research team led by Dr. Du Yi from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) using ...

Language and social cognition are traditionally studied as separate cognitive domains, yet accumulative studies reveal overlapping neural correlates at the left ventral temporoparietal junction (vTPJ) ...

While extensive work has mapped the anatomical regions that support semantic processing in healthy adults, the neural dynamics of such processing remain poorly understood. Herein, we use ...

Overall, the findings gathered by this team of researchers suggest that visual and linguistic semantic networks in the brain are connected, forming a unified map. In the future, this interesting ...

Natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) are two often-confused technologies that make search more intelligent and ensure people can search and find what they want.

Subjects in the experiments behind this semantic map had to sit in an fMRI for hours at a time, listening to The Moth Radio Hour, a storytelling podcast. Later, the researchers would painstakingly ...
