A new study from the University of Helsinki has revealed that the brain utilizes its resources to recognize all the necessary information. Researchers carried out this study using a model based on information theory to restrict the informativeness of words and linked these with brain movement. The study involved the analysis of brain activity and observed that when a person is reading, our human brain refrains from using unnecessary effort to extract important information. It rather attempts to allocate resources to interpreting the words that provide as much information as possible on the content of the text. Researchers believe that the outcomes of the study can be utilized in future brain-information interfaces, which observe brain function when people recognize and process various types of information.
