    Brainwaves of mothers and children synchronize when playing together – even in an acquired language
    Neural synchrony between socially interacting people is known to boost social and emotional connection and communication. Researchers have now shown that mothers who speak English as a second language during play with their bilingual toddlers aren’t less effective at achieving this desired ‘attuning’ of their brains. These results suggest that optimal learning and mother-child bonding don’t require native proficiency.

  • Scientists reveal why human language isn’t like computer code

    Scientists reveal why human language isn’t like computer code
    Human language may seem messy and inefficient compared to the ultra-compact strings of ones and zeros used by computers—but our brains actually prefer it that way. New research reveals that while digital-style encoding could theoretically compress information more tightly, it would demand far more mental effort from both speaker and listener. Instead, language is built around familiar words and predictable patterns that reflect our real-world experiences, allowing the brain to constantly anticipate what comes next and narrow down meaning step by step.

    Investigadores del I3A lideran un proyecto para superar barreras lingüísticas en la ciencia
    Aunque el inglés es la lengua predominante en la ciencia, mucha información valiosa se publica únicamente en idiomas locales, lo que crea «islas de conocimiento» que resultan inaccesibles para quienes no dominan esas lenguas.
    Partiendo de esta idea arranca este proyecto europeo cuyo objetivo es permitir que cualquier persona, desde grupos de investigación hasta la sociedad en general, pueda buscar, leer e interactuar con datos y documentos científicos complejos utilizando su propia lengua.
    Para conseguirlo, crearán puentes entre idiomas que permitan traducir la información de manera precisa y lo harán con inteligencia artificial neurosimbólica, combinando modelos de lenguaje y grafos de…

    Language and consciousness: An essential dialogue at the heart of our mind
    Can we be conscious without language? Does language influence our conscious experience? These questions, which are central to understanding the human mind, have been explored by researchers at the University of Liège. Their study, published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, shows the complex links between language and consciousness.

    The brain on books: How reading reshapes language processing
    Learning to read reshapes how the brain processes language. New research from Baycrest and the University of São Paulo shows that learning to read fundamentally changes how the brain responds to spoken language, even when no written words are present. While previous brain imaging studies have demonstrated that literacy strongly affects how the brain responds to written words, this study is among the first to show differences in brain activity during listening alone.
