Jeff Zacks, associate professor of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis, talks about the study. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ from 江 According to Jeff Zacks, an associate professor of psychology at Washington University, when people reading books, their head will paint mental pictures. He used MRI machines to read and analyze the responses of test takers and what he got from this kind of experiment is our brains will do simluations other than describing what we feel while we are reading. The way our brains do simulation is just like we put ourselves there. For example, if the story mentioned about a character hold up a soda can, then what's our hand and arm will feel like we really hold up a soda can. What Jeff Zacks got is contradict with our tradition recogntion that virtue reality can also be reached by language that a fancy computer with helmets and gadgets are not necessary. Also, language serves as strong driving force to change our perceptual process. 听的不是很懂@@ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- from monica3 Host: Think about to the first time you are degra gasby. Think about this in Gasby’s mechine. He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them one by one before us. Shirts of shear lin fix and fine flower which lo as they fell and cover the table in many other colour disiray. Suddenly with a strange sound dizzy fanter hand into the shirts and began to cry stormly. When we are sitting, reading for a book likes this. Our body may be still, but our brains are working hard to paint a mental picture fluttering shirts, dizzy scream, gasby disillusion. How do that work? It’s science out of box. Jeff Zacks is the associate professor of psychology. He is one of the co-author of a new study about what happened to our brains when we read. And he joins us now from Washington University in Saint Louis. Welcome Jeff Zacks. Jeff Zacks: Thanks for having me, Jacky. Host: Sound thin for us here. You and the lead author Xxcoldspear had people read inside a MRI machine which I will do for you any time you like. How do that work? Jeff Zacks: So they are lying in the dark looking at the computer screen and words are appearing one at a time and read. That’s comfortable such as they can read and understand what happening. The stories are about a little boy named Raymond are living in the town of Midwest in the 40s. Host:You took pictures of these people’s brain of what they were reading. What do you see? Jeff Zacks: So if you pick up the can of soda , you bring this through whole casca of process having to do a motor commands to your arms, what it looks like to grab the soda of the can. What it feels like in your hands and arms? If you run into another person in the hall starting interacting with them, you bring those whole casca of process. We found as people are lying the scanner, reading about picking the can of soda or bumping into a friend. Their brain processes in different ways. That similar differences we see in responses to real experiences. Host: What does that mean they are actually excising their brain to do those functions? Jeff Zacks: What it suggests to us is that when they are reading the story, they are building simulations in their head, their head describe by the story. There’s an important things that as they built that simulation that is significantly like being there. Host: What does that tell us about the brain, Jeff Zacks, that we didn’t know before? Jeff Zacks: We used to thinking that virtual reality is something that involves fancy computers, helmets and gadget. But what this kind of data suggests is that language itself is powerful from the virtual reality. There’s an important thing we say language. We tell each other stories that we can control the perceptual process of each other’s brains. Host: Jeff Zacks is the associate professor of psychology at Washington university in saint Louis. Thank you for join us today. Jeff Zacks: Thank you. --
