Neuroscientists from MIT have found that reading computer code does not activate the areas in the brain used to process language. Instead, they found that it activates general-purpose neural networks ...

Whether studying coding launches a career in technology or boosts confidence in reading, there are lifelong benefits to getting kids into coding early. Ideally, since coding and reading reinforce one ...

Programmers might need to 'read' code in programming languages, but it's not the language-processing part of the brain where blood flow increases during the activity. Instead, a group of MIT ...

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 ...

Research in neuroscience confirms what parents and teachers should do to help children crack the reading code. Find out what showing kids how to sound out words does for their brain. Steve Peha and I ...
