Abstract

A novel fMRI classification method designed for rapid event related fMRI experiments is described and applied to the classification of loud reading of isolated words in Hebrew. Three comparisons of different grammatical complexity were performed: (i) words versus asterisks (ii) 'with diacritics versus without diacritics' and (iii) 'with root versus no root'. We discuss the most difficult task and, for comparison, the easiest one. Earlier work using more standard classification techniques (machine learning and statistical) succeeded fully only in the simplest of these tasks (i), but produced only partial results on (ii) and failed completely, even on the training set on the deepest task (iii).
