Distinct neural sources underlying visual word form processing as revealed by steady state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP)

Abstract EEG has been central to investigations of the time course of various neural functions underpinning visual word recognition. Recently the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) paradigm has been increasingly adopted for word recognition studies due to its high signal-to-noise ratio. Su...
