How do we read faster than our brains process each word?
Out now in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, @lizschotter.bsky.social and I explore how co-registering eye-tracking and EEG helps solve this paradox by looking "beyond" the individual fixation to probe dynamic coupling between the brain and eyes.

Some research fields have a type of paper that basically asks: "What if a more expensive but less reliable machine can do [this] instead?"

The need for positive data is the original sin of science.
To exist in science, you need grants. To get grants, you need to publish papers. To publish papers, you need positive data.
This leads to null data staying in file drawers, and false or misleading positive data being published.

š¢ BREAKING! TiCS just published a paper by @lamalab.bsky.social and me that synthesizes co-registration (and related) studies of reading that resolve the apparent paradox that the eyes move faster through the text than the brain can understand it!

The game is to destroy academia and take control of universities. Throttling science funding is just one more move in the broader assault against #highered.

Co-registration of neural and behavioral measures is key in developing a holistic understanding of reading. However, researchers must study not only neural effects inside fixations, early enough to initiate saccade decisions, but also later effects that are linguistically driven. Furthermore, researchers must not only use co-registration to allow for naturalistic reading but also to look beyond individual fixations to examine the coupling between temporally extended neural language processing and saccade decisions. Such an approach has revealed that saccade decisions are triggered at an intermediate point of lexical processing, followed by complete recognition and integration of a word into its context. This account can resolve the apparent paradox that the eyes can move through text faster than the brain understands it.
Your word list should ideally be nested in Tidy format (one word per row, within one column of a dataframe). Your word vector should NOT be a factor but a chr. Set up your word list like this. You can split/unlist a language sample to get it in this format also.
