Our Brains Interpret Coding Differently from Non-Digital Languages: Insights from MIT’s Latest Study
Programming languages and natural languages share some surface similarities, such as symbols, syntax, and the need to interpret meaning. Yet, an intriguing study conducted by MIT reveals that our brains interpret computer code in a distinctly different way compared to non-digital, natural languages. This finding helps demystify the underlying processes of coding and challenges traditional notions about how coding relates to skills like mathematics and language comprehension. Let's explore how our brains process coding and why it’s distinct from natural languages or math. (more…)
