Study Suggests Brain Is More Modular - "Reading" Is Input-Agnostic

Researchers found that the same brain areas are active in people reading visually as in never-sighted people reading Braille, to the point where the fMRI's were essentially indistinguishable between the two groups.

This seems like a plus for neurology-based understanding of intelligence, as it suggests that some brain functions may be relatively generic - doing specific kinds of processing tasks regardless of the source of the data being processed.
