I am Experiencing: matching terms to brain activation

Vanessa Sochat

This poster asks the viewer to match brain activation maps with the correct term that describes the activation. Each row represents positive brain activation for a particular experience; experiences are listed across the bottom. The images of brain slices in each row line up with letters that are in the relevant term; the letters are on the x axis. For letters that appear more than once in a term, the brains are color coded, corresponding to a frequency table in the bottom left. The maps were created via NeuroSynth.org, a beta interface that produces meta analysis maps by compiling max voxels mined from journal articles based on term frequency. This image does not claim to be scientifically rigorous, but rather a fun exercise.
