" summary

fMRI work from 2014 shows reading small Java snippets activates frontal/parietal areas 6 and 40 plus classical language regions 44, 21, 47 (comprehension minus syntax), so code comprehension recruits attention, working memory and language circuits. EEG neurofeedback boosts beta/sensorimotor rhythms and improves TOVA performance and working memory. Demonstrations include EEG‑controlled drones and a jugular‑inserted motor‑cortex transmitter tested in sheep; therapeutic videogames reduce depressive severity over months.
