Computational analysis on verbal fluency reveals heterogeneity in subjective language interests and brain structure.

Language is an essential higher cognitive function in humans and is often affected by psychiatric and neurological disorders. Objective measures like the verbal fluency test are often used to determine language dysfunction. Recent applications of computational approaches broaden insights into language-related functions.
