Certainly the brain is heavily involved in CW "translation". But
also the sound transducer (the ear) and the RF converter (the antenna/radio).
High speed CW receiving requires skill in language
translation. Those with true multi-linguistic ability "think" in all
languages vs mere translating.
Long use and immersion are helpful for realizing such skills. If you
want to learn Spanish, go to Spain for a few years. Schools are
using immersion techniques for learning languages.
Also I have noted skill in multitasking helps with speed.
I'm an engineer. Engineers are well known for extreme focus to the
exclusion of outside disturbances/distraction (also called "tunnel
vision"). Typically poor multi-taskers.
Thus I am terrible using CW, but good at design or
troubleshooting. Not good managing multiple tasks. Plus having
extreme hearing issues so digital modes are easier for me to work
weak signals. I do have fine antennas/radios!
