Neuroimaging reveals detailed semantic maps across human cerebral cortex

The video explores a study at UC Berkeley using fMRI to understand how the brain processes language. Participants listen to stories while their brain activity is recorded. Researchers use big data to analyze these scans, identifying brain regions involved in language processing. Visualizations show how different parts of the brain activate during story listening. The study estimates 200-400 brain modules, with 100-150 linked to language. Applications include therapies for stroke patients and brain-machine interfaces. The research aims to deepen understanding of the brain for medical and technological advancements.
