Exp MR of the CNS, University of T bingen, Germany Institute for Computational Linguistics, University of Stuttgart, Germany Dept. One task for neuroscience is to find out which parts of the brain are involved in these different operations. In this study we focus on the identification of individuals.
Identification can take different forms.
Which parts of the brain are activated in identification may vary from one type of recognition to another. The stimulus material consisted of drawings of known comic animals, famous humans, familiar kinds of animals, or of unknown human individuals who could be seen to belong to a certain profession. The experiment used ten right-handed subjects. The data analysis was performed with SPM99. Either the lexical nodes do not exist, the access to them does not lead to sufficient activation, or the activation is too distributed to be visible with our measuring techniques and statistical methods.
