Direct evidence for two different neural mechanisms for reading familiar and unfamiliar words: an intra-cerebral EEG study

Direct evidence for two different neural mechanisms for reading familiar and unfamiliar words: an intra-cerebral EEG study

After intensive practice, unfamiliar letter strings become familiar words and reading speed increases strikingly from a slow processing to a fast and with more global recognition of words. While this effect has been well documented at the behavioral level, its neural underpinnings are still unclear....
