In their examination, the researchers tested the parts of the brain that were used during speech. Here, the study’s subjects were asked to repeat two “non-words”—“kig” and “pob.” Using non-words as a prompt to gauge neurological activity, the researchers were able to isolate speech from language. An analysis of brain activity as patients engaged in speech tasks showed that both sides of the brain were used—that is, speech is, in fact, bi-lateral. Research with bilinguals also shows bilateral activation!
