Psalm 139:14
"Mathematical language borrows words from everyday speech, yet
the brain processes math and language in two separate networks. While previous studies examined how these networks process written numbers and words, few looked at the processing of spoken mathematical language.
---Equations triggered activity in the parietal lobe, an area involved in number processing,
---and sentences triggered activity in the temporal lobe, a language region.
Brain activity oscillated with, or tracked, every word and math symbol, indicating the brain processes their acoustics even if attention was directed away from them.
The results reveal how the brain analyzes the features of different kinds of speech, which may be linked to how we comprehend sentences and calculate equations."
