[HTML][HTML] Understanding in an instant: neurophysiological evidence for mechanistic language circuits in the brain

F Pulvermüller, Y Shtyrov, O Hauk - Brain and language, 2009 - Elsevier
… For example, Hauk and Moscoso del Prado Martin found local activation differences to written
words from different semantic categories matched for a range of psycholinguistic variables …

[HTML][HTML] The time course of action and action-word comprehension in the human brain as revealed by neurophysiology

O Hauk, Y Shtyrov, F Pulvermüller - Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2008 - Elsevier
… point for the words in the Pulvermüller et al. study was 30 ms into the second syllable, which
was also about the time range of maximum signal energy for the stimuli in the Hauk et al. …

[PDF][PDF] Somatotopic representation of action words in human motor and premotor cortex

O Hauk, I Johnsrude, F Pulvermüller - Neuron, 2004 - cell.com
Since the early days of research into language and the brain, word meaning was assumed
to be processed in specific brain regions, which most modern neuroscientists localize to the …

[HTML][HTML] The body of evidence: what can neuroscience tell us about embodied semantics?

O Hauk, N Tschentscher - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Hauk and Pulvermüller used a silent reading task that did not require an explicit response.
This should stimulate further research into the effects of task demands on brain activation …

Functional links between motor and language systems

F Pulvermüller, O Hauk, VV Nikulin… - European Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to motor areas in the left language‐dominant
hemisphere while right‐handed human subjects made lexical decisions on words …

Large-scale neural correlates of affective picture processing

A Keil, MM Bradley, O Hauk, B Rockstroh, T Elbert… - …, 2002 - cambridge.org
… Here we used the implementation suggested by Hauk and collaborators ~2002!. Code written
in MATLABTM was applied to the voltage data. The minimum norm estimate is an inverse …

Motor cortex maps articulatory features of speech sounds

…, F Moscoso del Prado Martin, O Hauk… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
The processing of spoken language has been attributed to areas in the superior temporal
lobe, where speech stimuli elicit the greatest activation. However, neurobiological and …

The time course of visual word recognition as revealed by linear regression analysis of ERP data

O Hauk, MH Davis, M Ford, F Pulvermüller… - Neuroimage, 2006 - Elsevier
… The implementation used for our analysis followed the suggestion of Hauk (2004). The method
yields a blurred two-dimensional projection of the true source distribution within the brain. …

Grasping ideas with the motor system: semantic somatotopy in idiom comprehension

V Boulenger, O Hauk, F Pulvermüller - Cerebral cortex, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Single words and sentences referring to bodily actions activate the motor cortex. However,
this semantic grounding of concrete language does not address the critical question whether …

Effects of word length and frequency on the human event-related potential

O Hauk, F Pulvermüller - Clinical Neurophysiology, 2004 - Elsevier
Objective: We investigated the influence of the length and frequency of printed words on the
amplitude and peak latencies of event-related potentials (ERPs). This served two goals, …
