Action categorization across vision and language

[link]

We interrogate the semantic representations of actions depicted through videos and sentences using behavioral data and computational models.

Organizing dimensions in naturalistic action perception

[link]

We use a data-driven method to recover interpretable dimensions from action similarity judgments across two different experiments.

Intuitive action representations in brain and behaviour

[link]

We evaluate the contribution of visual, social, and action features to behavioral and neural (EEG) naturalistic action representations.

MEG hypoconnectivity linked to rare copy number variants

[link]

We find decreased MEG resting-state connectivity in adults with rare high-risk copy number variants (CNVs), suggesting a potential common mechanism across genotypes.

Scene representations, from features to categories

[link]

We show that a categorical response to scenes emerges in visual cortex within 200 ms, potentially supported by low spatial frequency features, even in the absence of a categorization task.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of expression processing

[link]

Sensor and source-space MVPA of whole-brain MEG data shows that the extraction of expression-related features from faces begins within 100 ms in visual cortex in the absence of an expression-related task.
