Code obfuscation is a staple tool in malware creation where code fragments are altered substantially to

During sentence level language comprehension, semantic
and syntactic unification are functionally distinct operations.
Nevertheless, both recruit roughly the same brain areas (spatially overlapping networks in the left frontotemporal cortex)
and happen at the same time (in the first few hundred milliseconds after word onset).
