Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have
found that reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a
beneficial effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers
moments of self-reflection.
Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read
works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S Eliot and others.
They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”, modern language
and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.
