This issue focuses on the processing of #language in the left & right cerebral hemispheres of the #brain 🧠, & it will showcase cutting-edge research using a variety of methodologies on the cerebral hemispheres process and interaction during language comprehension and production.

Extremely intriguing new publication from cross-disciplinary team including @markbartholo pushing the ball forward on neuroscience in trademark law, focusing on neural imaging and efforts to measure confusion between visually similar trademarks: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Excited to see our article “Trademarks and the Brain” w/@DrSandyV cited by @GraemeBD in his important & provocative argument against the “fetish” of empiricism papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… While we disagree on the value of new empirical tools & primacy of consumer experience to TM /1

It was so amazing to present at the #intasymposium2022 with @DrSandyV on the neuroscience of trademarks - thank you so much to @lexlanham and @TimberlakeLaw for putting together such a fantastic conference, it was a blast!
what is distinctiveness? it's like tinkerbell in peter pan: trademarks only exist if you believe they exist. there's no real way to measure it. a source designation that conveys a basket of associations to your brain. @legallysocial #intasymposium2022
