Friedemann Pulvermueller is Professor of Neuroscience of Language and Pragmatics and Head of the Brain Language Laboratory of the Freie Universität Berlin. His main interest is in the neurobiological mechanisms enabling humans to use and understand language. His team accumulated neurophysiological, neuroimaging and neuropsychological evidence for category-specific semantic circuits distributed across a broad range of cortical areas, including modality-specific ones, supporting correlation-based semantic learning and grounding mechanisms. His focus is on active, action-related mechanisms crucial for symbol understanding.
