The brain organized sound by pitch, a new study reports.
Researchers discover the brain mechanisms which underlie discourse comprehension.
Researchers report we may see similarities between different languages as a result of the brain's preference for efficient information processing.
Neuroimaging reveals surprisingly few links between white matter structure and reading ability in children.
According to researchers, children raised with parents who speak the same language, but with different accents, recognize words dramatically differently by 12 months of age than those whose parents speak with similar accents. Researchers say the effect of multiple accents should be taken into account when studying monolingual language acquisition.
A new study sheds light on the evolutionary roots of language in the human brain.
A sign language study helps researchers better understand how the brain processes language.
MIT researchers investigate the inner workings of machine learning systems that process language.
Some words are far more memorable than others. Researchers discovered our memories are wired into neural networks that allow the brain to search for these memories, much like the way search engines track down relevant information.
A new study reports out ability to preserve language processing skills in old age may be much better than previously thought. However, our test taking abilities may decline.
A new computational model sheds light on how personal brain structure can influence our cognitive performance on language based tasks.
A new study identifies the neurological changes which occur as a result of aphasia following a stroke.
