Yes. And I can find my network in 15 minutes. And now we can ask, find my network, find yours, find 20 other people do this task. And we can do some other tasks. Anything else you think is thinking of some other thing. I can do a spatial memory task. I can do a music perception task. I can do programming task if I program. Yeah. where I can understand computer programs.

None of those tasks tap the language network at all. At all. There's no overlap. They're highly activated in other parts of the brain. There's a bilateral network which I think she tends to call the multiple demands network, which does anything kind of hard. And so anything that's kind of difficult in some ways will activate that multiple demands network. I mean, music will be in some music area.

There's music-specific kinds of areas. But none of them are activating the language area at all, unless there's words. So if you have music and there's a song and you can hear the words, then you get the language area.

This is all comprehension of any kind. That is fascinating. This network doesn't make any difference if it's written or spoken. The thing that Federico calls the language network is this high-level language. It's not about the spoken language, and it's not about the written language. It's about either one of them.

And so when you do speech, you listen to speech and you subtract away some language you don't understand, or you subtract away backwards speech, which sounds like speech, but isn't. And then, so you take away the sound part altogether. And then if you do written, you get exactly the same network.

So for just reading the language versus reading sort of nonsense words or something like that, you'll find exactly the same network. And so this is about high level, The comprehension. Comprehension of language, yeah, in this case. And the same thing happens, production's a little harder to run the scanner, but the same thing happens in production. You get the same network.

So production's a little harder, right? You have to figure out how do you run a task in the network such that you're doing some kind of production. And I can't remember what, they've done a bunch of different kinds of tasks there where you get people to produce things, yeah, figure out how to produce. And the same network goes on there, exactly the same place.
