The brain region responsible for processing visual information, including lip-reading, is called the visual cortex. This region is located in the back of the brain, just behind the eyes. When someone attempts to lip-read, the visual cortex is activated and attempts to interpret the movement of the lips.

What part of the brain controls the lips?
The lips are controlled by the motor cortex, which is located in the brain.
How do people lip read?
Lip reading is the ability to interpret the visual cues from a person’s lips to understand what they are saying. This can be done by watching the movement of the lips and tongue, and by observing the facial expressions that accompany speech.
