Expert computer programmers show higher proficiency in certain behavioral and attention skills than their novice peers. To identify the responsible brain regions, scientists used fMRI to analyze ...

To shed light on this issue, the researchers set out to study whether brain activity patterns while reading computer code would overlap with language-related brain activity. The two programming ...

As we pointed out earlier this week, we’re still far from being able to replicate the awesome power of the human brain. So rather than use traditional models of computing, IBM has decided to ...

The brain isn't a computer—it's a dynamic, adaptable system shaped by evolution. It's emotional, contextual, and designed for ...

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 ...

"If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't." - Emerson M. Pugh Earlier this week, i09 featured a primer, of sorts, by George Dvorsky ...
