This interactive 3D model shows where your brain responds to different words

If you’ve ever wondered where exactly words are in your brain, scientists from the University of California at Berkeley have something to show you. In a paper published Wednesday (April 27)  in the journal Nature (paywall), researchers describe the results of an experiment where they had test subjects listen to The Moth Radio Hour for two hours each. While the show played, they recorded the listener’s reaction using an fMRI machine. Their results show what specific parts of the brain react to different groups of words.
