The neural correlates of statistical learning in a word segmentation task: An fMRI study.

abstract：:Little is known about the relationship of reading speed and early visual processes in normal readers. Here we examined the association of the early P1, N170 and late N1 component in visual event-related potentials (ERPs) with silent reading speed and a number of additional cognitive skills in a sample of 52 adult Germ...
