Language

Unfamiliar and complex sentences increase the workload on the brain’s language processing system.

Using an artificial language network, MIT neuroscientists have found that sentences with unusual grammar or unexpected meanings tend to strongly activate the brain's key language processing centers. In contrast, straightforward sentences cause only minimal engagement of these regions, as do nonsensical sequences of words. The researchers discovered this by analyzing how human participants' brain network…

The language network in the brain is challenged more when dealing with intricate and new sentences.

Neuroscientists at MIT, assisted by an artificial language network, have discovered that complex sentences with unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, stimulate the brain's key language processing centres more effectively. Interestingly, both straightforward sentences and nonsensical sequences of words had minimal engagement in these regions. The findings were part of a study led by MIT graduate…

The brain’s language network has to exert more effort when dealing with complex and unfamiliar sentences.

MIT neuroscientists have used an artificial language network to determine the type of sentences that stimulate the brain's key language-processing centers most. The research revealed that complex sentences, whether due to unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generated stronger responses in these centers. Straightforward sentences barely engaged these regions and nonsensical sequences of words yielded little…

The language network of the brain exerts more effort when dealing with intricate and unfamiliar sentences.

MIT neuroscientists discovered that sentences that are more complex, either because of unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in the brain's key language processing centers. This discovery was made possible with the help of an artificial language network. Conversely, straightforward sentences barely engaged these centers, and nonsensical sequences of words produced minimal responses.…

Intricate and unfamiliar sentences place greater demands on the brain’s language processing system.

MIT neuroscientists, aided by an artificial language network, have published a study revealing that complex sentences, both in terms of unusual grammar and unexpected meaning, produce stronger responses in the brain's primary language processing areas. The centers have a less marked response to straightforward and nonsensical sentences. For instance, when reading unusual sentences like "Buy sell…

The language network of the brain is put under more strain when dealing with intricate and unfamiliar phrases.

A new study by neuroscientists at MIT has uncovered what kind of sentences are most likely to stimulate the brain's main language processing centers. Utilizing an artificial language network, the researchers discovered that sentences with unusual grammar or unexpected meanings produce stronger responses in these areas; while straightforward sentences or nonsensical word sequences hardly engage…

The brain’s language network is strained more when dealing with intricate and unfamiliar sentences.

MIT neuroscientists, using an artificial language network, have learned that more complex sentences, due to either odd grammar or unexpected meanings, trigger stronger responses in the brain's key language processing centers. On the other hand, plain sentences barely stimulate these regions, and nonsense word sequences have little effect on them. Evelina Fedorenko, an Associate Professor…

The language network in the brain has to exert more effort when dealing with complicated and unfamiliar sentences.

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have conducted a study which demonstrates that sentences with complex grammar or unexpected meaning tend to stimulate the brain's key language processing centers significantly more than straightforward or nonsensical sentences. The study was led by Evelina Fedorenko, an Associate Professor of Neuroscience at MIT, and Greta Tuckute, a…

The brain’s language network has to put in more effort when dealing with complicated and unfamiliar sentences.

MIT neuroscientists have used an artificial language network to determine the type of sentences that most stimulate the brain's key language processing regions. Their study reveals that the brain reacts more to complex sentences with unusual grammar or unexpected meaning. Straightforward sentences or nonsensical sequences show little engagement. The researchers focused on language processing regions…

Intricate and unfamiliar sentence structures place increased strain on the brain’s language processing network.

A team of neuroscientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have used an artificial language network to identify the type of sentences that activate the brain's critical language processing centres. The team learned that more complex sentences, which feature unusual grammar or unexpected meanings, generate strong responses from these centres, while straightforward sentences barely…
