Article Synopsis
- The ability to think about what could be, not just what is, is central to human thought and can be explored through language, particularly with modal expressions that indicate possibilities and necessities.
- A study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) compared factual statements to their modal counterparts in narratives, finding that factual expressions activated brain regions more than modal ones.
- The research suggests that the brain processes factual updates differently depending on whether one is considering their own beliefs or someone else's, while modal expressions do not significantly affect neural activity in this context.
