Fig. 4: Neuronal evidence for lexical parafoveal processing.

a Time-resolved coherence differences during pre-target word fixations (low minus high lexical frequency target words; n = 26) revealing a lexical parafoveal effect around 100 ms after fixation onset. b The averaged pre-target coherence at 60 Hz during pre-target fixations for low (blue) and high (orange) lexical frequency target words (*p = 0.037, n = 26, two-sided pairwise t-test). c, d During target word fixations we did not observe a coherence difference with respect to lexical frequency (p = 0.992, n = 26, two-sided pairwise t-test). Horizontal bars in the violin plots indicate mean value. Each dot presents one participant. Source data of panel b and d are provided as a Source Data file.
