How do we know if something is alive? If an object can move, is it alive? What about fire? Sophia Shatek looks at how the brain processes non-living objects that move, such as fire. #SPPC2021

Now published! We recorded EEG 🧠 (n=50) for 22,248 images - all 1,854 concepts in THINGS. We hope this open dataset is useful for understanding how our brains processes and represents objects. With Ivy Zhou, Amanda Robinson, Martin Hebart, Thomas A Carlson doi.org/10.1038/s41597…
