Knowing how the brain processes Chinese characters of different frequencies of occurrence
may shed light on the extent to which orthographic variations of different languages can …

The present study employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate
the neural mechanisms underlying orthographic, phonological and semantic processing of …

Previous studies have revealed that phonological processing of Chinese characters elicited
activation in the left prefrontal cortex, bilateral parietal cortex, and occipitotemporal regions …

A growing body of neuroimaging evidence has shown that Chinese character processing
recruits differential activation from alphabetic languages due to its unique linguistic features …

Both logographic characters and alphabetic pinyins can be used to write words in Chinese.
Here we use fMRI to address the question of whether the written form affects brain …

Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (ER-fMRI) was used to investigate
how the human brain processes phonology and transforms a word's visual form …

The functional anatomy of Chinese character processing was investigated using fMRI. Right-
handed Mandarin–English bilingual participants made either semantic or perceptual size …

Chinese offers a unique tool for testing the effects of word form on language processing
during reading. The processes of letter-mediated grapheme-to-phoneme translation and …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify the neural correlates of
Chinese character and word reading. The Chinese stimuli were presented visually, one at a …

Previous literature in alphabetic languages suggests that the occipital-temporal region (the
ventral pathway) is specialized for automatic parallel word recognition, whereas the parietal …
