classifiers and the brain

[Clifton Langdon-Grigg]

I saw this poster a while back so my memory is a bit fuzzy on this
one, but I believe it compares fMRI scans for pantomime, nonsense
signs, and verbs (I think verbs=classifiers in this case, but I'm not
sure.)
Below is what I wrote down for that poster, hope it helps you Petra.
