| - | ===== Suggested Additional Reading ===== | + | * 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 |

| + | * 0.77 averaged over all 9 participants - significantly above a chance level | ||
| + | * higher activation tends to be predicted in the left hemisphere - it is consistent with the generally held view that left hemisphere is more responsible for semantic representation than the right one | ||
