Though researchers have long suspected the brain mechanism for computer programming would be similar to that for math or even language, this study revealed that when seasoned coders work, most brain ...

Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited ...

New research might widen access to learning computer programming. Source: skynesher/iStock It is routinely assumed that to be a computer programmer—to write code, in other words—you need to be good at ...

Programming is hard. Good programming is a lot harder. Curiously, I didn't know that for the better part of a decade. I went into the Air Force in the mid 70's as a flight simulator maintainer and a ...

New findings suggest infants and young kids process language in both hemispheres of the brain, which could help compensate after a neural injury, researchers say. In nearly all adults, sentence ...

Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study. Our ability to store ...
