For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

How you process language is influenced by how each side of your brain developed in early life. Peter Dazeley/The Image Bank via Getty Images Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic ...

Researchers develop TweetyBERT, an AI model that automatically decodes canary songs to help neuroscientists understand the neural basis of speech.

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing ...

A new study reveals that the human brain processes spoken language in a sequence that closely mirrors the layered architecture of advanced AI language models. Using electrocorticography data from ...

When public debates turn sharp or ugly, it’s tempting to shrug off harsh language as just part of the noise — distasteful, certainly, but not truly harmful. Yet research from neuroscience, history and ...

Researchers identify a specialized "satellite" language network in the cerebellum, offering new insights into how the brain processes communication and potential treatments for aphasia.

In their classic 1998 textbook on cognitive neuroscience, Michael Gazzaniga, Richard Ivry, and George Mangun made a sobering observation: there was no clear mapping between how we process language and ...

The research team concluded that talking in an acquired language didn’t impinge on a mother’s ability to synchronise her ...

There's a common assumption that if someone starts learning a language when they are very young, they will quickly become ...

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people, the ...
