Researchers at the University of Cambridge and the Ecole Normale
Supérieure
in Paris recorded the EEG (brain waves) on a group of participants while they
were awake. They repeated the experiment while participants were sleeping.
However, they used different words of animals and objects. Obeservation of sleeping
brain activity showed that the participants continued to respond accurately to
the words although more slowly than when they were awake. According to
researcher Sid Kouider,
the study showed that speech processing and other complex tasks can be done without
being aware of what you perceive. It may be that such unconscious processing is
likely not limited by the complexity of the task but by whether or not
it can be performed automatically.
