Computational modeling of the neural correlates of language processing is a fundamental step toward the cognitive computing of natural language. However, most studies of the neural correlates of text reading focus on nouns, and little is known about the underlying neural mechanisms for processing and recognizing verbs. Thus, our aim is to develop a neural network model with two layers tha…
The phenomenon of bilingualism as a rule instead of an exception has received attention from linguists, educators and neuroscientists for some decades. As advantages of bilingualism one could mention a better executive control and cognitive reserve. Recent studies on Bilingualism in the perspective of Neurosciences have investigated, for instance, the neural architecture underlying the la…
To understand how we process and retrieve the meanings of what is heard or read is fundamental to language knowledge and understanding. However, to the present, the great majority of language research focus on noun processing. These projects have shown that there are levels of processing (i.e. prelexical, lexical and semantic) and that they occur in a cascaded manner, and they may overlap…
Dealing efficiently with quantities constitutes an evolutionary advantage; we count and measure, make projections and estimations, but little do we know about the manner in which the brain deals with numbers. It is believed that number sense, which is the ability to quickly understand, represent and manipulate quantities, is the base upon which the whole of mathematical knowledge is built…

The present project intends to comprehend the neural networks and hubs that are recruited to verbs' visual recognition, as well as deep semantic processing and meaning access. There has been an increase of studies in how nouns are represented in our brains, contributing to the understanding that psycholinguistic features can influence the recognition of written words. Nouns are easily cat…
