Human Gaze-Based Attention During Natural Chinese Reading: fMRI and Eye-Tracking Dataset
Three coordinated Chinese reading-task datasets provide co-registered eye-tracking and fMRI recordings, offering a unified resource for studying how the brain supports reading across linguistic levels—from words to sentences to extended narratives. The datasets enable research on (i) hierarchical language comprehension across levels of integration, (ii) eye–brain coupling during natural reading by linking fixation behavior to BOLD responses, and (iii) cross-linguistic comparisons with analogous paradigms in other languages to test language-universal vs. language-specific neural and oculomotor mechanisms. Overall, the resource supports cross-task generalization, method development, and replication-oriented neurocognitive research on reading.
