broca

Yes LLMs can do surprisingly well at a bunch of tasks, but broca’s area will never replace a human.

Interesting to me how Wernicke’s Aphasia works then (which I have occasionally; my epilepsy stems from there + broca’s area).

Because understanding and production are two different brain areas (wernicke vs broca), so there are languages which I can understand, but not speak.

Yet paradoxically the elephant nor blue whale is not the smartest brain on the planet, the distance from the center of my head to broca's region seems to have no effect on my elocution.

Damage Broca’s area and you get Broca’s aphasia.

There are various kinds of afasia, often linked to specific brain areas (Wernicke's and Broca's are well-known).

Broca's area 44,45 and 47 are responsible for processing hierarchical structures.[1] That's why it's so easy to reason about Lisp code.

My Broca's and Wernicke's areas often go on and on about how good a job they would do with sudo privileges.

The patient has too many problems in working memory* and the first step is the shunt some to another logic processor, Broca's area.

Broca's area, Wernicke's area, visual and occipital cortices (the latter of which, if damage occurs, can cause loss of sight).

The original paper [0] mentions electrodes are placed over Broca’s area (speech production, translates words to mouth movements) and motor area (adjusts the mouth movements).

Right now, we just did the equivalent of a tech demo of Broca's area.

The more reliably predictive mental model is if one were to take about two-thirds of a human brain's left hemisphere, wire it to simulated cranial nerves, and then electrically stimulate Broca's and Wernicke's areas in various patterns ("prompts"), either to observe the speech produced when a novel pattern is tried, or by known patterns to cause such production for some other end.

Inspired by "Broca's Brain" by Carl Sagan, I made it halfway through medical school with the intention of being a psychiatrist, before I finally realized that, on closer examination, psychiatry was not only a scam, but actually pernicious, repressive and evil!
