Recently I had the pleasure of speaking to cognitive neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko.

She is head of EvLab, her own language lab at MIT, and their mission is to discover how minds and brains create language.

In this interview we speak about the language architecture of the brain, adult language learning, and the difference between thought and language.

I hope you enjoy it!
