linguists really not in the news

Upon reflection, there really couldn't be anything more misleading in the title "Linguists 'have different brains'," which I mentioned already. It's definitely not linguists that the study was looking at, and now I'm not even sure that it was even about "language learners". Until I actually read the journal article itself I can't be sure, but it sounds more like a sound discrimination task, where people are asked to say whether Sound 1 is the same as Sound 2 - the only novel aspect being that the people in question got their brains scanned at the same time. If anything else exciting comes out of this, I'll make sure and let you know.
