Both event and object concepts are represented in a shared neural activation pattern, highlighting cognitive overlap.
Multivoxel pattern analyses demonstrate a common representational code for lexical concepts in the brain.
The study analyzes fMRI data from participants as they rated familiarity with object and event word meanings.
These findings may advance brain-computer interfaces by decoding conceptual content from brain activity.
