Speech processing involves a complex interplay between sensory and motor systems in the brain, essential for early language development. Recent studies have extended this sensory-motor interaction to visual word processing, emphasizing the connection between reading and handwriting during literacy acquisition. Here we show how language-motor areas encode motoric and sensory features of language stimuli during auditory and visual perception, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combined with representational similarity analysis.

The multicomponent Remission Evaluation of Medical Interventions in T2D (REMIT) program has shown reduction of hazard of diabetes relapse by 34-43%, but could benefit from improved ability to scale, spread, and sustain it. This study explored, at the conceptualization phase, patient and health coach perspectives on the acceptability, adoption, feasibility, and appropriateness of a digital REMIT adaptation (diabetes technology enabled coaching (DTEC)). Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients (n = 6) and health coaches (n = 6) to explore their experiences with the REMIT study, opportunities for virtualisation, and a cognitive walkthrough of solution concepts.

New, interdisciplinary approaches are needed to bridge competing conceptualizations of AI in practice and help shape the future of AI use.
