Known in the lab as “SkipIt” and to the wider research community as “Understanding the Eye-Brain Interface During Reading: Connecting Word SKipping and Comprehension Using Parafoveal N400 Fixation-Related Potentials,” Dr. Milligan’s latest publication sheds light on the nature of word-skipping behavior and its relationship to reading comprehension. Congratulations Dr. Milligan! 🎉
