[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Departmental Colloquium, January 15: Moritz Wurm (University of Trento) - A novel framework for the neural organization of action and object knowledge

by Denis Tatone

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. *Moritz Wurm *(University of Trento) [web <https://webapps.unitn.it/du/en/Persona/PER0119546/Curriculum>] Title: A novel framework for the neural organization of action and object knowledge Date: Wednesday, 15 January 2020 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: How is knowledge about things and events in the world organized in the brain? Popular theories suggest a major division between occipitotemporal and frontoparietal cortex in representing object and action information, respectively. Here I challenge this view by taking a closer look at the neural pathway of action recognition and understanding: In a series of fMRI-based MVPA studies, I show that critical levels of action representation – from basic perceptual action precursors (such as body movements toward persons or other entities) to perceptually invariant representations of action meaning – can be localized in lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) rather than frontoparietal areas. Moreover, the representational organization of actions in LOTC follows salient semantic principles and appears topographically aligned with related object representations. Based on these findings, I propose an updated model of knowledge organization in occipitotemporal cortex. We are looking forward to see you.
