We meta-analyzed imaging studies on theory of mind and formed individual task groups
based on stimuli and instructions. Overlap in brain activation between all task groups was …

Currently, production and comprehension are regarded as quite distinct in accounts of
language processing. In rejecting this dichotomy, we instead assert that producing and …

Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) are often designed to produce nonverbal behavior
to complement or enhance their verbal communication. One such form of the nonverbal …

As we speak, we use not only the arbitrary form–meaning mappings of the speech channel
but also motivated form–meaning correspondences, ie iconic gestures that accompany …

How can we understand each other during communicative interactions? An influential
suggestion holds that communicators are primed by each other's behaviors, with associative …

Neuroimaging studies have shown that the neural mechanisms of motor imagery (MI)
overlap substantially with the mechanisms of motor execution (ME). Surprisingly, however …

When people talk to each other, they often make arm and hand movements that accompany
what they say. These manual movements, called “co-speech gestures,” can convey meaning …

Perception and memory are imperfect reconstructions of reality. These reconstructions are
prone to be influenced by several factors, which may result in false memories. A false …

In everyday conversation, listeners often rely on a speaker's gestures to clarify any
ambiguities in the verbal message. Using fMRI during naturalistic story comprehension, we …

Speakers convey meaning not only through words, but also through gestures. Although
children are exposed to co‐speech gestures from birth, we do not know how the developing …
