Design and Validation of a Hybrid Stimulus fMRI Paradigm for Simultaneous Retinotopy and Mapping of Reading-Selective Visual Cortex
Reading selectively recruits specialized cortical patches within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC), such as the visual word form area (VWFA). Under the framework of the interactive account of word recognition, these neural responses emerge from dynamic, bidirectional loops where top-down linguistic predic...
