Asystem of regions (also referred to as anetwork) can comprise multiple disjoint regions that exhibit shared activity patterns across a range of tasks. The auditory system is located in the superior temporal region of the brain. This region uniquely encodespitch, speech, and music, butisnot involvedinhigh-levellanguage comprehensionandproduction[Norman-Haignereetal.,2015,2019].Inourexperimentspertaining to programming language comprehension, we use the activity seen in the auditory system as a negativecontrol. ForthePython program comprehension experiment, individual programs were modeled using the period from the onset of the code/sentence problem until the buttonpress. See Fedorenko et al. [2010] for a discussion of the functional localization approach as it pertains to the language network.
