Neural responses to category ambiguous words
Category ambiguous words (like hug and swing) have the potential to complicate both learning and processing of language. However, uses of such words may be disambiguated by acoustic differences that depend on the category of use. This article uses an event-related potential (ERP) technique to ask whether adult native speakers of English show neural sensitivity to those differences. The results ...
متن کاملShort-latency category specific neural responses to human faces in macaque inferotemporal cortex
In this article I would present evidence to show that timing of the flow of neural signals within the ventral visual stream is a crucial part of the neural code for categorization of faces. We recorded the activity of 554 inferotemporal neurons from two macaque monkeys performing a fixation task. More than 1000 object images including human and non-primate animal faces were presented up to 10 t...

متن کاملNeural Correlates of Semantic Competition during Processing of Ambiguous Words
The current study investigated the neural correlates that underlie the processing of ambiguous words and the potential effects of semantic competition on that processing. Participants performed speeded lexical decisions on semantically related and unrelated prime-target pairs presented in the auditory modality. The primes were either ambiguous words (e.g., ball) or unambiguous words (e.g., athl...
متن کاملDisambiguating Highly Ambiguous Words
A word sense disambiguator that is able to distinguish among the many senses of common words that are found in general-purpose, broad-coverage lexicons would be useful. For example, experiments have shown that, given accurate sense disambiguation, the lexical relations encoded in lexicons such as WordNet can be exploited to improve the effectiveness of information retrieval systems. This paper ...
