In the end, the researchers noted little to no response in the areas of the brain used by language while the participants read code. Instead, they found activation in the multiple demand network, a ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also ...

So the brain doesn’t tackle it as language or logic—it appears to be its own thing. The distinct process involved in interpreting computer code was backed up by an experiment done by Japanese ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” ...

By mapping the brain activity of expert computer programmers while they puzzled over code, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found the neural mechanics behind this increasingly vital skill.

Here’s how it works. The brain's language processing network is mostly located in the left hemisphere. (Image credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT; iStock image) ...

Precision Neuroscience says it may have a better way to restore independence to those with paralysis — by targeting the brain ...

Due to the complexity and richness of natural language, until the recent success of large language models, we lacked a precise mathematical model to describe it. Our study found that large language ...
