Sentence examples for word activation from inspiring English sources

Consistent with this preexisting evidence, face word activation tended to dominate over arm word activation at inferior premotor areas (e.g., −62, 6, 0), whereas arm words activated dorsolateral precentral gyrus more strongly than face words (e.g., −54, 4, 50).

Abstract emotion word activation in corticolimbic structures such as the cingulate also tended to be more pronounced compared with the other emotion word selection.

A voxel's stability was computed as the average pairwise correlation between its 60-word activation profiles across the multiple presentations that served as input for a given model (the number of presentations over which stability was computed was four or six, depending on the analysis).
