- 3. The study reveals that readers use peripheral vision to process skipped words, not just guessing.
- 4. Eye movements occur every 250 milliseconds, requiring simultaneous brain processes for comprehension.
- 5. The research combined EEG and eye-tracking to link eye movements with brain activity during reading.
- 6. 55 participants read 180 sentences, allowing researchers to analyze responses to expected and unexpected words.
