In other words, it can be programmed to transform and transmit content (words, images, sound) via electronic bits that can simulate virtually any form.

Multiple regression analysis revealed that the main predictors of success in repeating each sentence were the number of syllables in a sentence, followed by the number of content words.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we presented an acoustically clear sentence followed by an acoustically degraded sentence and manipulated the semantic relationship between them: Related in meaning (but consisting of different content words), Unrelated in meaning, or Same.
