Effective Connectivity within the Default Mode Network: Dynamic Causal Modeling of Resting-State fMRI Data.

abstract：:Words are made of letters, and yet sometimes it is easier to identify a word than a single letter. This word superiority effect (WSE) has been observed when written stimuli are presented very briefly or degraded by visual noise. We compare performance with letters and words in three experiments, to explore the extents...
