These results suggest that during visual reading, word recognition and integration begin parafoveally, underpinned by the left occipito-temporal system.

AND this system appears to be the first port of call where word processing may rapidly exert downstream influences on eye movement behaviours.

We identified putative generators of these influences in left occipito-temporal and ventral temporal areas.

These effects began in posterior areas during parafoveal word processing and shifted anteriorly when the word was fixated.

Matching past work, 2 properties significantly influenced fixation durations: a given word's frequency and it's surprisal in the current context.

Next, we asked where and when these properties influenced neural activity, time-locked to fixation onsets
