🧠 How does the brain respond to confusing code?
#SaarlandUniversity computer scientists Sven Apel and Vera Demberg worked with psychologist Axel Mecklinger to see.
What they found was surprising: when the programmers came across something confusing, their brain activity carried similarities to that of people reading sentences with plot twists.
