Motivation: Despite the growing interest in fast reading, which is a cutting-edge research area, researchers have not yet explored its potential in a lesser-known language.
Goal(s): Our goal was to explore the neural activation during the fast reading of ‘Sinhala’ letters.
Approach: Healthy Sinhalese participants were subjected to functional MRI (3T) along with a fast-reading training session to analyze pre- and post-fast-reading neural impacts.
Results: Correlation analysis showed a significant increase in the activity of the right middle frontal gyrus in rapid reading than in ordinary reading (PFEW-corr(p<0.05)).
Impact: The increment of brain activation noticed in the fast-reading trained group suggests the significance of evaluating neural correlates unique to a language. This finding may aid in the development of effective fast-learning methods and improve approaches to second-language learning.
