RT list: brain imaging of the communicative intention

Hi all.

I'm a new addition to the RT list. The joining instructions suggested
sending out an introductory email, so this is it.

I'm a PhD. student at the University of Edinburgh, and I study the origins
of language. My interest in RT stems from a conviction that one cannot
understand how language begun without understanding the pragmatics
of individual behaviour.

To that end, I have a question: Does anybody know of any brain imaging
studies done on RT; specifically regarding the link between different orders
of metarepresentational belief and the communicative intention (cf Sperber,
2000)? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Thom
