New research digs into how eye movements and brain activity shape reading comprehension.
Reading seems like a straightforward process. The eyes scan the words, and the brain turns them into meaning. But it’s not always that simple. Readers regularly skip words, sometimes without realizing it.
New research from the University of South Florida shows how the brain still processes those skipped words using peripheral vision, even as the eyes move past them.
