Repost from @sciencerehashed • “I’m not good at STEM so I definitely won't be able to code.“ If this statement resonates with you, the work of Anna Ivanova and her colleagues at McGovern Institute for Brain Research MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences will make you rethink that! Anna showed, through functional MRI studies, that computer programming comprehension doesn’t pattern clearly with math and logic processing but instead, while it activates a more general system involved with attention and working memory. #computerprogramming #computercode #podcast #newepisode #stem #womeninstem #ai #neuroscience #mit #onlyatmit #mcgovernmit #language #conlang
