Abstract

In this study we explored two distinct methods to identify semantic content differences using differences in observed brain activity measured by fMRI. The first approach is by analysing functional connectivity and the second approach is based on spatio-temporal activation patterns. The results are not conclusive and more data needs to be gathered to make statements about the neural correlates of semantics in the human brain. However, our results suggest that subtle differences in semantic content can be detected with both functional connectivity methods and by analysing spatio-temporal activation patterns.
