Brain signal shows when you understand what you hear

Brain signal shows when you understand what you hear | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

Researchers have identified a brain signal that indicates whether a person is comprehending what others are saying. The researchers have shown that they can track the signal using relatively inexpensive EEG (electroencephalography) readings taken on a person’s scalp.

During everyday interactions, people routinely speak at rates of 120 to 200 words per minute. For a listener to understand speech at these rates—and not lose track of the conversation—the brain must comprehend the meaning of each of these words very rapidly.

“That we can do this so easily is an amazing feat of the human brain—especially given that the meaning of words can vary greatly depending on the context,” says Edmund Lalor, associate professor of biomedical engineering and neuroscience at the University of Rochester and Trinity College Dublin. “For example, ‘I saw a bat flying overhead last night’ versus ‘the baseball player hit a home run with his favorite bat.'”

Tracking this brain signal could have a number of “potentially significant” applications, Lalor says. They include:

* testing language development in infants;
* determining the level of brain function in patients who are in a reduced state of consciousness, such as a coma;
* confirming that a person in a particularly critical job has understood the instructions they have received (e.g., an air traffic controller or a soldier);
* testing for the onset of dementia in older people based on their ability to follow a conversation.
