EPFL Student Creates a New Language-analysis Program (Computer / Engineering)

Jonathan Besomi, a Master’s student at EPFL, has developed a program called Texthero that lets users generate representations of textual data with just a few lines of code, thereby simplifying…

To The Brain, Reading Computer Code is Not The Same As Reading Language (Neuroscience)

Neuroscientists find that interpreting code activates a general-purpose brain network, but not language-processing centers. In some ways, learning to program a computer is similar to learning a new language. It…

The Uncharted Molecular Language of the Brain (Neuroscience)

Neurons are responsible for receiving information from the outside world and conveying this information to the rest of our body. To work correctly, they need to communicate, which they do…

Research Finds Brains Work Harder While Processing Descriptions of Motion in other Languages (Neuroscience)

We all run from a burning building the same way—fast!—but how we describe it depends on the language we speak. In some languages, we might flee, race, or bolt, while…
