The past decade has seen a rapid growth of cognitive and brain research focused on visual
narratives like comics and picture stories. This paper will summarize and integrate this …

In vision science, a particularly controversial topic is whether and how quickly the semantic
information about objects is available outside foveal vision. Here, we aimed at contributing …

Neuroimaging and behavioral studies have shown that brands convey meaning to
consumers. To investigate the immediate reactions of the brain to brand logos, followed …

Abstract Objects in the real world typically appear within a broader context, having
relationships with the environment. Do these relations between objects and the contexts in …

During the visual search, cognitive control mechanisms activate to inhibit distracting
information and efficiently orient attention towards contextually relevant regions likely to …

The complex interplay between low-and high-level mechanisms governing our visual
system can only be fully understood within ecologically valid naturalistic contexts. For this …

Although language comprehension usually requires multimodal information, no study to
date has investigated how comprehenders deal with the revision of a text's interpretation …

How does the human brain combine a finite number of words to form an infinite variety of
sentences? According to the Memory, Unification and Control (MUC) model, sentence …

Predictability is known to modulate semantic processing in language, but it is unclear to
what extent this applies for other modalities. Here we ask whether similar cognitive …

Formal analysis of the minimal computational complexity of verification algorithms for natural
language quantifiers implies that different classes of quantifiers demand the engagement of …
