The Silent Mind: What MIT's Brain Research Reveals About Language and Reasoning MIT neuroscientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges centuries of philosophical thinking: our brains can reason without words.
This finding has significant implications for how we understand the relationship between language and thought, and it raises fundamental questions about the role of language in our daily lives.
The research, published in PNAS by Evelina Fedorenko's team at MIT, involved studying two people with severe language impairments caused by stroke.
