The word brain

How long does it take to learn another language? How many words do we need to learn? Are languages within the reach of everybody? Which teachers would we choose and which teachers should we avoid? These are some of the questions you ask yourself when you start learning a new language. The Word Brain provides the answers.

In other words, The Word Brain describes the steps to metamorphosize yourself from a perfect illiterate to a person who has fluent hearing and reading abilities in another language. To develop these abilities, you will ideally study on a daily basis. Depending on a number of variables that I will discuss, the time estimated to accomplish your task is between one and five years.

The words put into your brain are more diverse than the words coming out of it. You have only one life to tell – your own – while your co-humans make you listen to hundreds of different lives in different places and in different circumstances.

Do they have the faintest idea of how demanding it is to penetrate the dense thicket of high-speed human speech? Do they simply presage the thrill of discovering a new language? In summary, do they have an appropriate comprehension of the complications and implications of language learning? They probably don’t. So if your language classes in Paris, London, Berlin, or Seville, are meant to be more than meeting and mingling opportunities with people from all over the world, make sure that your teachers are polyglots. You wouldn’t want to learn sex with nuns and priests....

The background to this book is the climate of increasingly sophisticated technology that seems to be having an ever greater impact on our daily lives. In medicine, at work, in leisure, in politics we are noticing more and more the encroaching influence of computers, telecommunications and miniaturisation. Our phone systems, which remained relatively static for 60 years, are now the means by which we can send and receive words, moving pictures and sound internationally.

Recent advances in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) offer a significant new approach to studying semantic representations in humans by making it possible to directly observe brain activity while people comprehend words and sentences. In this study, we investigate how humans comprehend adjective-noun phrases (e.g. strong dog) while their neural activity is recorded. Classification analysis shows that the distributed pattern of neural activity contains sufficient signal to decode differences among phrases. ...

This is a book about Creative Business Ideas. These words do not necessarily trip off the tongue. And there are those who might suggest that “creative” and “business” are as unnatural a combination as “business” and “ideas.” I can understand that. Most often, business thinking is based only in numbers, research, analysis, and logic. These are comfortable staples of predictability for business-trained minds and corporate decision makers. And for risk avoidance in general. Creativity is for the artists and dreamers, poets and ad people.

Second is the growth of the student's ability to visualize. The creative designer must be able to develop a mental image of that which he is inventing. The editor of the book Seeing with the Mind's Eye/41 by Samuels and Samuels, says in the preface: "... visualization is the way we think. Before words, images were. Visualization is the heart of the bio-computer. The human brain programs and self-programs through its images. Riding a bicycle, driving a car, learning to read, baking a cake, playing golf - all skills are acquired through the image making process.

The verbal section is very helpful in that it gives a person groups of 10-15 words with similar parts (for example a group of words with the syllable -con-) and gives the person helpful tips in how to make flashcards to effectively glue the words to the person's brain. This seems to me much easier than memorizing a 400-800 word list placed in alphabetical order.

The pale Usher—threadbare in coat, heart, body, and brain; I see him now. He was ever dusting his old lexicons and grammars, with a queer handkerchief, mockingly embellished with all the gay flags of all the known nations of the world. He loved to dust his old grammars; it somehow mildly reminded him of his mortality. ‘While you take in hand to school others, and to teach them by what name a whale-fish is to be called in our tongue leaving out, through ignorance, the letter H, which almost alone maketh the signification of the word, you deliver that...

Finally, a few words of caution. Vision is given a prominent position in aesthetics, often dominating the other senses. The present approach is similar in this, but it should be stressed that hearing, touch, smell, and even taste all are implicated in perceptual processing. The vision system in the brain is linked to the other sensory systems, which permits interaction at an early processing stage. At a later stage, visual information is integrated with other kinds of sensory information to produce multimodal perceptual experiences and mental imagery....

“Learning is easy . Our brains work like a computer with a really powerful word processor, so anything that you type in and ‘save’ will be stored in a file that can be accessed at a later date. The problem with most people, though, is that they tend to save their files in a ‘read only’ format, which means that they are unable to edit them in the future. In addition, many of these learning files are ‘locked’ inside the brain, and the password is so StRoNg77 that it is often forgotten. Unfortunately for us, our brain doesn't come equipped with an administrator to resend passwords, retrieve...

Recent developments/efforts to understand aspects of the brain function at the subneural level are discussed. MicroTubules (MTs), protein polymers constructing the cytoskeleton, participate in a wide variety of dynamical processes in the cell. Of special interest to us is the MTs participation in bioinformation processes such as learning and memory, by possessing a well-known binary error-correcting code [K1(13, 26, 5)] with 64 words. In fact, MTs and DNA/RNA are unique cell structures that possess a code system.

There is another piece of good news. As you will see in the coming chapters, importing 5,000 to 15,000 new words into your brain in 500 to 1,500 hours turns out to be THE major battlefield in language learning, representing 60 to 80 percent of your total effort. In comparison, other aspects of language learning – grammar, pronunciation, etc. – are minor construction sites. If you are motivated and still willing to follow me, my first prescription would be that you start learning words on a daily basis, at least five days a week, and that you start now.
