Conditions of Participation;
Interesting studies were conducted at the University of Buffalo in the USA and the University of Liverpool in the UK. In these studies, the works of important literary figures, such as Shakespeare and T. S. Eliot, were read by participants and their brain patterns were monitored at the same time. According to the results, the parts of the brain that we do not normally use in our daily lives are activated when we read a literary text. This means that our brain feeds on texts based on the imagination.
