In the second stage, the network was trained to reproduce Broca's area, which, under the influence of Wernicke's area, is responsible for producing and articulating words.

In the first stage of the experiment, the neuroscientists trained this network to simulate Wernicke's area, the part of our brain that enables us to perceive and interpret language.
