Reading in the Brain by Stanislas Dehaene

A renowned cognitive neuroscientist's fascinating and highly informative account of how the brain acquires reading. How can a few black marks on a white page evoke an entire universe of sounds and meanings? In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene provides an accessible account of brain circuitry of reading and explores what he calls the reading paradox. Our cortex is the product of millions of years of evolution in a world without writing, so how did it adapt to recognize words? Reading in the Brain describes pioneering research on how we process language, revealing the hidden logic of spelling and the existence of powerful unconscious mechanisms for decoding words of any size, case, or font.
