🧠 how the brain understands speech: it encodes sounds → words → meaning in a hierarchical dynamic code (HDC). Higher-level features evolve slower, letting the brain track language over time without interference. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #Neuroscience #Language

🧠 1/ It’s not the thought that counts "Allostasis is predictive regulation, distinguished from the concept of homeostasis, which involves reactive regulation to perturbations that return a system back to an optimal set point." The brain primary job isn’t to think but to regulate
