Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of bold response in motion-sensitive lateral temporal cortex by real and fictive motion sentences
Ayse Pinar Saygin,Stephen McCullough,Stephen McCullough,Morana Alač,Karen Emmorey,Karen Emmorey +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the neural substrates of linguistic semantics include early visual areas specifically related to the represented semantics and that figurative uses of motion verbs also engage these neural systems, but to a lesser extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural systems underlying spatial language in American Sign Language.
Karen Emmorey,Hanna Damasio,Hanna Damasio,Stephen McCullough,Thomas J. Grabowski,Laura L. Boles Ponto,Richard D. Hichwa,Ursula Bellugi +7 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated the neural regions engaged in processing constructions unique to signed languages: classifier predicates in which the position of the hands in signing space schematically represents spatial relations among objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Face processing by deaf ASL signers: evidence for expertise in distinguished local features.
Stephen McCullough,Karen Emmorey +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that only specific aspects of face processing are enhanced in deaf signers: those skills relevant to detecting local feature configurations that must be generalized over individual faces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural organization for recognition of grammatical and emotional facial expressions in deaf ASL signers and hearing nonsigners.
TL;DR: It is proposed that left lateralization in FG may be due to continuous analysis of local facial features during on-line sign language processing, and indicates that function in part drives the lateralization of neural systems that process human facial expressions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced facial discrimination: effects of experience with American sign language.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated deaf signers' and non-signers' ability to discriminate human faces photographed under different conditions of orientation and lighting (the Benton Test of Facial Recognition).
