Parallel spatial channels converge at a bottleneck in anterior word-selective cortex
In most environments, the visual system is confronted with many relevant objects
simultaneously. That is especially true during reading. However, behavioral data …

Both mOTS-words and pOTS-words prefer emoji stimuli over text stimuli during a lexical judgment task
A Dalski, H Kular, JG Jorgensen, K Grill-Spector… - Cerebral …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
The visual word form area in the occipitotemporal sulcus (here OTS-words) is crucial for
reading and shows a preference for text stimuli. We hypothesized that this text preference …

[HTML][HTML] Localization and functional characterization of an occipital visual word form sensitive area
B Zhang, S He, X Weng - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
In human occipitotemporal cortex, category-specific processing for visual objects seems to
involve pairs of cortical regions, often with one located in the occipital cortex and another …

[HTML][HTML] Holistic word processing is correlated with efficiency in visual word recognition
Holistic processing of visual words (ie, obligatory encoding of/attending to all letters of a
word) could be a marker of expert word recognition. In the present study, we thus examined …

The contribution of phonological information to visual word recognition: Evidence from Chinese phonetic radicals
Lateralization is a critical characteristic of language production and also plays a role in
visual word recognition. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the interactions …
