   * 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   * 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:   * fMRI prediction for a word ''w'' is a two-step process:
-  - compute a vector of semantic features over a huge corpus +    - compute a vector of semantic features over a huge corpus 
-  * Nečíslovaný seznam+      * 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
