With help from an artificial language network, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain's key language processing centers.

If our reality becomes filtered through a much more limited linguistic set, shaped largely by the symbolic systems of math, logic and artificial languages, could our thinking change?

Having founded the Unconventional Computing Lab in 2001 at the University of West England, Bristol, Adamatzky uses a definition of artificial language, which the American Psychological Association differentiates from natural language.

More recently, the Sónar messages broadcast from a radar in Norway contained a unique artificial language designed for interstellar communication and short electronic music clips designed by an international collection of musicians.

OK, it was being tested on an artificial language made up of gestures – so maybe the ‘waggle dance’ objection applies.
