Balconi, Michela (Ed.)

The volume focuses on the neuropsychological correlates of communication in daily
interactions. The predominant account in explaining the construction of meaning by
humans is the inter-relational perspective, which postulates an intentional convergence
of meaning arising as a consequence of the active exchanges between people. The neural
correlates of communication are described on the basis of new empirical results, with
particular focus on language and language development, pragmatics and neuropragmatics
of communication, neurocognition and the cognitive bases of intentions, nonverbal
communication and emotion contribution to communicative systems.
In addition, new methodological approaches are described, such as neuroimaging (PET and
fMRI), and brain stimulation techniques (MEG and TMS), as well as their applications in
research and in the clinical field.
