Scanning their brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging, the scientists found that a region involved in language processing - the temporal lobe, part of the prefrontal cortex - was activated during verbal learning in rested patients.

Murdock and his team pioneered the blendsourcing concept around the needs of software development, however, many business functions human resources, growth planning, and functional projects such as opening up a new channel or region are starting to recognize the promise of blendsourcing as well.
