Braille reading activates the primary somatosensory cortex where sensory information is received from the fingers. From there, the information is sent to Wernicke's area where it is processed and understood. Then, the information is sent to Broca's area, where the words are formulated into a coherent sentence. Finally, the information is sent to the primary motor cortex, where the muscles involved in speech are activated, allowing Jackson to speak out loud and tell his friend what he's reading.
