 +==== Summary ====
 +  * authors present a computational model, which predicts the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of neural activation associated with words for which no fMRI data are available
 +  * fMRI prediction for a word ''w'' is a two-step process:
 +    - compute a vector of semantic features over a huge corpus
 +      * 25 features are defined in terms of co-occurrence of ''w'' with forms of 25 manually selected sensory-motor verbs
 +    - predict neural fMRI activation as a weighted sum of semantic features
 +      * weights for every voxel (3D pixel) and feature are estimated using multiple regression
 +  * fMRI data
 +    * they created 60 representative fMRI images
 +      * word - picture combination from 12 semantic categories
 +      * they measured brain activation of 9 participants after being exposed to all 60 word - picture combinations
 +  * evaluation
 +    * they carried out "leave-two-out" cross validation with all 60 word-fMRI instances
 +      * 58 of them served as a training data
 +      * for two of them fMRI images were predicted and compared with observed images. On the basis of cosine similarity measure a matching was determined. If the predicted image for the first word matches with its corresponding observed image, one positive point is scored - aggregated over all folds, it forms an accuracy measure
