Document Summary
It is difficult to teach a chimp language. Get people to do rhyming things & how using technology we can detect which part of the brain is active. (brain) hemispheric specialization- for men language is situated on the left side of the brain. There is some activities going on towards the right. Language is mostly localized in the left hemisphere. (seen by fmri scans). Advantage over x-ray: it does not only calcified tissue but looks into depth of tissue. Mri - static structural image of the body. Focuses on the brain of men- this is the area of the brain that lights up. It is the symbolic area of brain- it does not light up. Bold is something that takes few seconds to flow blood. When we are rhyming, thinking- what happens is that the is depletion of oxygen in the brain that needs to keep going. Brain tells cardiovascular system- its starving of oxygen.
