Key Advance: �°��ϲ��Ļ��Ϣ Davis Neuroscientists Get a New Look into How We Read

Karen Michele Nikos — April 06, 2016 - 12:35pm

Neuroscientists at �°��ϲ��Ļ��Ϣ Davis have come up with a way to observe brain activity during natural reading. It’s the first time researchers have been able to study the brain while reading actual texts, instead of individual words, and it’s already helping settle some ideas about just how we read.

“It’s a key advance in understanding reading in the brain, because people are just reading normally,” said John Henderson, professor of psychology at the �°��ϲ��Ļ��Ϣ Davis Center for Mind and Brain. The work was published today (April 6) in the Journal of Neuroscience.
