Connectionists: New article on Modelling brain processes of semantic grounding

[Max Garagnani]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to report that following new article has been recently
published by the European Journal of Neuroscience:

Garagnani, M. & Pulvermüller, F. (2016) Conceptual grounding of language in
action and perception: a neurocomputational model of the emergence of
category specificity and semantic hubs.
European Journal of Neuroscience. Volume 43, Issue 6, pages 721–737, March
2016

A copy of the article can be downloaded at:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ejn.13145/abstract

This cortical model of semantic grounding builds upon previous work on
neurobiologically realistic neural-network models of language and attention
processes in the brain:

Garagnani, M., Wennekers, T. & Pulvermüller, F. (2008) A
neuroanatomically-grounded Hebbian learning model of attention-language
interactions in the human brain. 
European Journal of Neuroscience. Volume 27, Issue 2, pages 492–513, January
2008
