… namely: If the behavioural advantage indeed reflects a perceptual enhancement of letter stimuli, then it should be accompanied by an enhancement of sensory information in visual cortex (which processes these stimuli) already
-- which is precisely what we set out to test

We expected that in a source area the neural activity covaries with the amount of letter information in early visual cortex, such that letter information is higher when the area is more active, and vice versa. & this relationship should hold within, not just between conditionspic.twitter.com/9NTZLrjzgt

When we tested for such a hallmark, we found exactly this pattern of effects in VWFA, pMTG and IFG — all key areas of the reading network … suggesting these areas might be the source of the enhancementpic.twitter.com/lICIdMtgBd

Altogether, these results provide neural support for the top-down nature of the word superiority effect. Which suggests that perhaps readers can better identify letters in words because they might, quite literally, see them better
