Here's another interesting test:
Group A reads Shakespeare. Group B reads a work written in the style of Shakespeare, written in iambic pentameter, using obscure words of the time. The difference is that Group A's text, being actual Shakespeare, has depth (I think we can agree on that), while Group B's text lacks depth - Twilight written in an imitation of Shakespeare, perhaps.
Then compare the brain scans. The Elizabethan language should be difficult for both groups. If we see similar brain activities, this could be an indication that it is the result of the complexity of the language itself rather than the depth of the concepts.
