  1. Basic Bits of Neuronal Grammar Friedemann Pulvermüller MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Cambridge

  2. Activity states: • Ignition -- full activation, momentary • Reverberation -- continuous enhanced activity following ignition • Priming -- “parasitic” activity caused by strongly connected sets • Rest -- inactivity

  3. Activity states: • Darker colours denote reduced activity states

  4. The network:

  5. The represented elements: WORDS SEQUENCE FEATURES

  6. The representing elements: WORD WEBS

  7. The representing elements: WORD WEBS SEQUENCE DETECTORS (SDs)

  8. I3 word inputcongruent with thenetwork structure

  9. The sentence“Betty get up”will appear in the inputand will not be acceptedby the network

  10. Time step / Input / Process

  11. 0 -- All webs at rest

  28. 17 -- Backward ignition

  29. 18 -- Deactivation

  30. At time step 17, the 3 criteria for string acceptance were met: • All activated word webs were visible (i.e., reverberated at the highest reverberation level). • All activate word webs were satisfied (i.e., their set of sequence detectors reverberated at a high level). • All active sets were synchronized (I.e., participated in a continuous wave of ignitions).

  46. At time step 10, the 3 criteria for string acceptance were not met: • Only 1 word web was visible (the 2 others were at lower activity levels, R2 and R3; cf. darker colours). • No one of the 3 word webs was satisfied (SDs did not reverberate). • No final synchronization process.
