 +  * conclusion 
 +    * this work presented a predictive relationship between word co-occurrence statistics and neural activation 
 +    * high accuracy of selected 25 features shows that neural representation of concrete words is to a large extent grounded in sensory-motor features 
 +    * it shows that semantic features share commonalities across individuals and may help to predict neural representations across individuals, as well 
 +    * the model captures semantic, rather than visual aspect of words
