I loved the movie Project Hail Mary. It was fun, exciting, and truly thought-provoking without a trace of the heavy-handed preachiness that drags down sci-fi movies so often nowadays. I watched the film as a neurosurgeon and writer. So, I wasn’t just following the story—I was completely captivated by how the two characters built a shared language from nothing.
I've been fascinated by brain workings for awhile so appreciate the discussion! I read Broca's Brain years ago, and enjoyed Carl Sagan's take on things. I work in long term care in respiratory and brain function always overlaps the care, to say the least!
My wife and I just saw the movie as well and it was interesting where they took things. I surely agree on that learning curve!
Wow, the math regions with their spatial, visual and abstract abilities really seem to show up as players in the communication business. It makes me wonder then if speech is damaged, that word processing, yet the math side has understanding, just not a vehicle to express?
Super thought provoking, Dr. Marc and enjoy every insight!
perhaps in the future science will bridge the divide, but for now language and math (as it relates to post stroke recovery of function) remain worlds apart
