Neural dynamics of attentive reading
| Mean peak latency (ms; mean ± SE) | Z ratio (Z unatt/Z attend; mean ± SE) | |
|---|---|---|
| Broca's area pars triangularis (n = 3 recording sites) | 387 (2.6) | −11.7 (13.7) |
| Broca's area pars opercularis (n = 7 recording sites) | 391 (34.3) | −16.8 (17.5) |
| Precentral gyrus (n = 2 recording sites) | 452 (101.5) | −26.2 (40.1) |
| Anterior part of the superior temporal gyrus (n = 4 recording sites) | 350 (31.4) | 31.1 (22.1) |
| Posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus (n = 3 recording sites) | 382 (69.7) | 36.2 (35.6) |
| Middle temporal gyrus (n = 4 recording sites) | 408 (122.9) | 41.9 (14.5) |
| Inferior temporal gyrus (n = 5 recording sites) | 207 (11.3) | 45.5 (9.7) |
| Fusiform gyrus (n = 7 recording sites) | 294 (65.8) | 77.4 (21.2) |
| Lingual gyrus (n = 1 recording site) | 296 | 106 |
| Supramarginal gyrus (n = 1 recording site) | 382 | 1.29 |
| Posterior cingulate gyrus (n = 2 recording sites) | 331 (19.5) | 37.6 (38.4) |
The peak latency of γ oscillations induced by word reading in the attended condition was computed and averaged for each anatomical cluster (first column).
The size of the attentional effect was assessed by the indice defined in the methods [mean Z ratio (Mean Z‐score in the attended condition/unattended condition)] and was averaged for each anatomical cluster (second column).
