Abstract

The article studies special features of the process of reading a text using different media: an LCD monitor and a paper sheet. The study was conducted using EEG (electroencephalography) methods and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF) registration. The data obtained with the use of both methods were analyzed; differences were revealed.

Keywords

reading, electronic media, paper media, EEG, visual analyzer.
