So to test it, we did the following experiment. First, we took the story and played it backwards.
我們用以下的實驗來測試。我們先將故事倒過來播放，
And that preserved many of the original auditory features, but removed the meaning.
這保留了很多原有的聽覺特征，但是故事不再具有意義。
And it sounds something like that.
聽起來像這樣：
And we flashed colors in the two brains to indicate brain areas that respond very similarly across people.
在兩個大腦里，我們用閃現的顏色來顯示相似腦區塊的響應。
And as you can see, this incoming sound induced entrainment or alignment in all of the brains in auditory cortices that process the sounds,
如你所見，進入耳朵的聲音誘使所有受測者大腦內處理聲音的聽覺皮層全都同步了
but it didn't spread deeper into the brain.
但同步的現象并未深入大腦。
Now we can take these sounds and build words out of it.
然后我們把字匯加到聲音上。
So if we take Jim O'Grady and scramble the words, we'll get a list of words.
若拼湊重組吉姆·奧格雷迪的用字，我們會得到一長串詞匯。
An animal...assorted facts...and right on...pie man...potentially...my stories
動物...事實上...就在...餡餅人...可能...我的故事
And you can see that these words start to induce alignment in early language areas, but not more than that.
大家看到這些字開始對準了，但只發生在前期的語言區，別的區沒對準。
Now we can take the words and start to build sentences out of them.
我們把這些字匯排成句子。
And they recommend against crossing that line.
他們建議不要逾越那條線。
He says: "Dear Jim, Good story. Nice details. Didn't she only know about him through me?"
他說：“親愛的吉姆，好故事。很詳細。你不知道她是經由我才認識他的嗎？”
Now you can see that the responses in all the language areas that process the incoming language become aligned or similar across all listeners.
如同你們看到的，所有的人、所有接收語言處理區的響應都一致，或者很相似。
However, only when we use the full, engaging, coherent story do the responses spread deeper into the brain into higher-order areas,
然而，只有當我們使用完整、引人入勝、連貫的故事時，反應才會進入大腦的深層區域，
which include the frontal cortex and the parietal cortex, and make all of them respond very similarly.
包括額葉皮層和部分頂葉皮層，從而令所有人都出現非常相似的反應。
