How does the brain respond to sentence structure as we speak and listen? In a neuroimaging study published in PNAS, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI) and Radboud ...

Researchers propose a new computational system to expand the understanding of the brain at an intermediate level, between neurons and cognitive phenomena such as language. They have developed a brain ...

People often seem to understand language before they have actually heard enough words to determine its structure. In everyday conversation, listeners ...

Although certain core brain regions are involved in the processing of all languages, these regions show distinct activation patterns during the processing of different languages. The different brain ...
