Using an artificial language network, neuroscientists from MIT have identified the type of sentences that most effectively activate the human brain's language processing centres. Their findings, published in Nature Human Behavior, show that the most stimulating sentences are those which are complex due to uncommon words or grammar, or unexpected meanings. Simplistic sentences or nonsensical…

A recent study from MIT has uncovered that the human brain's principal language processing centers are most activated while reading complex, unusual sentences. The artificial language network assisted study revealed that the more intricate a sentence was, either through unconventional grammar or unexpected meaning, the more these language processing centers were activated. In contrast, simple…

MIT researchers have used an artificial language network to decipher which types of sentences activate the brain's language processing centers most effectively. Their study reveals that sentences of higher complexity with unusual grammar or unexpected meanings engage these centers to a greater degree than straightforward sentences or nonsensical series of words. Their findings are based…

A study by MIT neuroscientists, utilising an artificial language network, discovered the type of sentences most likely to stimulate the brain’s key language processing centers. The study concluded that complex sentences, with unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses. In contrast, simplistic sentences marginally engaged these regions, while nonsensical sequences of words had little…
