The Buddha's preaching through every phenomenon is classified by Kûkai in terms of the three forms of bodily, verbal, and mental activities, or the three media of mudra (ingei), mantra, and mandala, i.e., Dainichi's cosmic gestural language, phonic language, and imaging language.
The Avery/GSAPP Plans & Sections project involved the efforts of Avery librarians and staff, GSAPP VRC curators, and more than 25 GSAPP students working together across many of the GSAPP programs — including M.Arch, Historic Preservation, Urban Design and Urban Planning – and contributing their diverse language, imaging and technology skills and their deep interest in the history of architecture.
PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the effect of preoperative functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging localization of language and motor areas on therapeutic decision making in patients with potentially resectable brain tumors.
Using a pre-post design, eleven chronic stroke patients with large left hemisphere lesions and nonfluent aphasia underwent diffusion tensor imaging and language testing before and after receiving 15 weeks of an intensive intonation-based speech therapy.
He says, "Neuroscientists need to be familiar with the language of imaging and in contact with people who understand the fundamentals of imaging, but the people who make the breakthroughs in neuroscience will be the ones who bring the intriguing questions to the new techniques".
Our meta-analysis of NITs has been the most detailed and extensive to date, including all described serum tests and imaging modalities with no language restrictions and using state-of-the-art statistical and reporting methods.
The involvement of left frontotemporal regions in processing inflectionally complex words is also supported by substantial neuroimaging evidence in healthy participants, across languages and imaging modalities [Bozic et al., 2010; Lehtonen et al., 2006; Shtyrov et al., 2005; Szlachta et al., 2012].
Several of the brain regions found to be the most central and functionally connected are areas that have previously been reported as active during language tasks in imaging studies.
And imaging tests showed that widely distributed language circuits running through his prefrontal cortex — the thinking, purposeful region of the brain — were intact.
Moreover, imaging studies have shown that tool use and language perception in humans involve common neural processes in Broca's area (Higuchi et al. 2009).
But brain imaging techniques developed in the 1990's now show where key functions like language and planning reside and how these change over time.
