Description
Summary:Here we extend the information on the structure of the core stimulus of the studyforrest project (http://studyforrest.org) with a description of semantic conflict in the “Forrest Gump” movie. Three observers annotated the movie independently regarding episodes with portrayal of lies, irony or sarcasm. We present frequency statistics, and inter-observer reliability measures that qualify and quantify semantic conflict in the stimulus. While the number of identified events is limited, this annotation nevertheless enriches the knowledge about the complex high-level structure of this stimulus, and can help to evaluate its utility for future studies, and the usability of the existing brain imaging data regarding this aspect of cognition.
