Thus, we argue that the greater activation in these regions for SL in deaf than hearing participants observed in the current study is unlikely due to biological motion processing alone but rather the ability of signers to process the material as semantically meaningful.
The drop in foreclosures began in late September when some lenders were revealed to have been using so-called robo-signers to process thousands of foreclosures without verifying the accuracy of the data.
The added attention couldn't come at a worse time for Bank of America, which is currently embroiled in a federal racketeering lawsuit over its alleged use of "robo-signers" to process foreclosure documents.
Despite the well-publicized flaws in the process — robo-signers, lost documents, incomplete affidavits — bank officials are expected to testify that they understand and are trying to fix the problem.
Lenders, who service loans they own as well as those owned by investors, tried to circumvent the time-intensive process by using "robo-signers" who mass-produced documents, many of which made inaccurate claims.
Since the current study did not include a non-linguistic biological motion condition, we cannot exclude the possibility that this difference in activation between the groups for SL (deaf > hearing) reflects the honed ability of pSTG/S to process biological motion in signers.
Jonathan Jacoby, founding director of the Israel Policy Forum, said the letter-signers were "trying to protect the peace process from American politics".
"After reviewing our process for responding when a co-signer dies, we updated our policy in March and May of this year," said Patricia Christel, a Navient spokeswoman.

Mr. Prabhakaran remains an essential part of the process, not least because he is one of the signers of the cease-fire.
