“…Literature suggests that human brain is able to effortlessly integrate semantic information from these two input channels. With functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), it is suggested that two regions in the left hemisphere, the left posterior superior temporal sulcus and the left inferior frontal gyrus are crucially involved in the semantic combination and semantic integration between gesture and verbal speech (Dick, Mok, Beharelle, Goldin‐Meadow, & Small, 2012; Green et al, 2009; He et al, 2015, He, Steines, Sommer, et al, 2018; Holle, Obleser, Rueschemeyer, & Gunter, 2010; Kircher et al, 2009; Straube, Green, Bromberger, & Kircher, 2011; Willems, Özyürek, & Hagoort, 2009). With electroencephalography (EEG) methods such as event‐related potentials (ERPs), it has been suggested that the human brain is able to rapidly integrate semantic representations from gesture and language, as reflected by the N400 component.…”
