First map of brain activity

A research team from the University of California (USA) discovered that the human brain is zoned to handle all kinds of information that the subject receives.

To illustrate their findings, the team created the first map of how the brain organizes sorting and processing information throughout the cerebral cortex.

According to the Daily Mail, based on the brain imaging data models of volunteers watching videos for hours, the team released a brain activity map they called 'space language'. continuous meaning '.

The map of American scientists generally shows that the human cortex is divided into 30,000 different compartments to handle and process more than 1,700 items of information about different objects and activities.

The relationship between categories of information in the brain map is quite evident, such as information about people and animals with the same 'place of residence'.

Types of information that activate the same brain area are represented by similar colors. For example, people in green, yellow animals, vehicles in pink and purple, and buildings in blue.

The team found that the brain effectively organized the charge of handling a variety of information in a confined space. Instead of every given brain region responsible for some kind of information as concluded in many previous studies, actual brain activity is organized based on each relationship between the information items.

'People can identify thousands of different categories of information. However, due to the size limit of the human brain, it is impossible to express every specific brain area in charge of a separate information item , 'said Alexander Huth, the lead researcher.

Mr. Huth stated, his work and his colleagues will provide the most detailed view of the image processing and organization functions of a human brain. A better understanding of this process is thought to be able to help diagnose and treat brain disorders and can be used to create interactive interfaces between the human brain - machines like the other face and image recognition system.
