Corrigendum to “Fingerspelling, signed language, text and picture processing in deaf native signers: The role of the mid-fusiform gyrus” [NeuroImage 35 (2007) 1287–1302]

چکیده
We recently noticed an error in the Methods section of this paper. Voxel size in Talairach space was reported as 3×3×3 mm. It was actually 3.3×3.3×3.3 mm. Due to this error, and to a systematic error in calculating metric volume, activation volumes were reported incorrectly throughout the paper. These errors have no impact, however, on the arguments presented. In the Results section, and in Tables 3–8, activation sizes are given as both number of activated voxels and metric volume. In all cases, the figure reported for the number of voxels is correct, whereas the volume reported is incorrect. The following formula may be used to calculate the correct volume for these activations:

Fingerspelling, signed language, text and picture processing in deaf native signers: The role of the mid-fusiform gyrus
In fingerspelling, different hand configurations are used to represent the different letters of the alphabet. Signers use this method of representing written language to fill lexical gaps in a signed language. Using fMRI, we compared cortical networks supporting the perception of fingerspelled, signed, written, and pictorial stimuli in deaf native signers of British Sign Language (BSL). In orde...
متن کاملNeural systems underlying lexical retrieval for sign language.
Positron emission tomography was used to investigate whether signed languages exhibit the same neural organization for lexical retrieval within classical and non-classical language areas as has been described for spoken English. Ten deaf native American sign language (ASL) signers were shown pictures of unique entities (famous persons) and non-unique entities (animals) and were asked to name ea...
متن کاملPhonological processing in deaf signers and the impact of age of first language acquisition
Just as words can rhyme, the signs of a signed language can share structural properties, such as location. Linguistic description at this level is termed phonology. We report that a left-lateralised fronto-parietal network is engaged during phonological similarity judgements made in both English (rhyme) and British Sign Language (BSL; location). Since these languages operate in different modali...
متن کاملDissociating linguistic and nonlinguistic gestural communication in the brain.
Gestures of the face, arms, and hands are components of signed languages used by Deaf people. Signaling codes, such as the racecourse betting code known as Tic Tac, are also made up of such gestures. Tic Tac lacks the phonological structure of British Sign Language (BSL) but is similar in terms of its visual and articulatory components. Using fMRI, we compared the neural correlates of viewing a...
متن کاملBrain activations associated with sign production using word and picture inputs in deaf signers.
Effective literacy education in deaf students calls for psycholinguistic research revealing the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying their written language processing. When learning a written language, deaf students are often instructed to sign out printed text. The present fMRI study was intended to reveal the neural substrates associated with word signing by comparing it with picture si...
