The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

More than 7,000 languages are spoken around the world, but the human brain becomes highly specialized to process speech in an individual’s own language. Recordings from human brains reveal the shared ...

New research shows AI language models mirror how the human brain builds meaning over time while listening to natural speech.

A new study suggests that everyday multilingual habits—from chatting with neighbors to revisiting a childhood language—may help preserve memory, attention, and brain flexibility as we age. An ...
