At the time, Conrey never would have guessed that she would write a senior thesis in college about the brain activity that takes place in people who don't distinguish between similar-sounding words like "pin" and "pen." Nor would she have guessed that her thesis would get published several years later in the journal Brain and Language. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-02/ru-bpo022406.php " target="blank">www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-02/ru-bpo022406.php </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
