Complicated and unfamiliar phrases put more strain on the brain’s language processing system.

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…

The language network in the brain is taxed more heavily by complicated sentences that aren’t easily recognized.

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 versatile approach to assist creators in enhancing animation.

Researchers at MIT have developed a technique to give animators greater control over the movements of their 2D and 3D characters. Their method generates barycentric coordinates, mathematical functions that dictate how shapes bend, stretch, and move through space. Unlike other methods, this approach offers flexibility by allowing animators to choose suitable functions for achieving desired…
