Functional neuroanatomy of language without speech: An ALE meta-analysis of sign language

Sign language (SL) conveys linguistic information using gestures instead of sounds. Here, we apply a meta-analytic estimation approach to neuroimaging studies (N = 23; subjects = 316) and ask whether SL comprehension in deaf signers relies on the …

Basics of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and neuroimaging meta-analysis

This basic lecture explores the fundamentals of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and neuroimaging meta-analysis. We start by laying out the basics of (f)MRI, look at the data we can acquire using this method and how we may analyze them, …

Functional neuroanatomy of sign language in deaf signers: Activation Likelihood Estimation meta-analysis and Meta-Analytic Connectivity Mapping

The neurophysiological response during comprehension and production of sign language has been studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) since the advent of neuroimaging. Deaf signers have been …

A meta-analytic perspective on data sharing and reproducibility in cognitive neuroscience of sign language

The acquisition of most neuroimaging data and especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is laborious and cost-intensive. Nevertheless, the practice of data sharing is not commonplace in the field of cognitive neuroscience of sign language. We …

Broca's region is a modality-independet hub in the language network: Insights from a recent meta-analysis

The neurophysiological response during comprehension of sign language has been studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) since the advent of neuroimaging. Deaf signers have been shown to recruit …

The neural basis of sign language processing in deaf signers: An Activation Likelihood Estimation meta-analysis

The neurophysiological response during processing of sign language (SL) has been studied since the advent of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Nevertheless, the neural substrates of SL remain subject …

Reviewing the functional neuroanatomy of sign language in deaf signers using Activation Likelihood Estimation

The neurophysiological response during comprehension and production of sign language has been studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) since the advent of neuroimaging. Deaf signers have been …
