NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --A new study has identified a brain circuit that is active while we plan our spoken replies during conversation.
Key Points:
- NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --A new study has identified a brain circuit that is active while we plan our spoken replies during conversation.
- These non-invasive methods leave a critical blind spot in the field's ability to track what the brain does during everyday conversation, say the authors.
- While other ECoG studies have determined the networks related to perception and production , the current study is the first to capture brain activity during the reply planning phase between them, which has been the hardest to study, say the authors.
- "Crucially, the brain mapping we found using simple, controlled tasks held up in tests of natural human behavior," he added.
