- Learning to program a computer is similar to learning a new language. However, MIT neuroscientists found that reading computer code does not activate language processing brain regions. Instead, it activates a network for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math problems or crossword puzzles. https://news.mit.edu/2020/brain-reading-computer-code-1215 125 comments programming
