Language comprehension involves a dynamic interplay between recognizing individual units of meaning (e.g., words) and composing more complex meanings from their combinations to understand phrases and sentences. A primary objective for cognitive neuroscience research is to develop accounts of how these processes take place in the human brain. This dissertation describes a series of studies that utilized magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and eye-tracking to develop a precise and ecologically valid account of how visual word recognition and composition are underpinned by neural activity during reading. The first two chapters describe work that adopted simplistic, yet tightly controlled, experimental designs to characterize the interplay between word recognition and composition; finding overlapping neural activity that supports both processes in the left fusiform gyrus, and a wider network of left lateralized areas that support the composition of meaning from word combinations. The final chapter then describes the use of an emerging methodological advance, simultaneous MEG recordings with eye-tracking, to ask whether this characterization of visual word recognition generalizes to the natural behavior of interest: reading with unconstrained eye movements. This work not only provides a unique comparison of how the brain recognizes visual words when they are presented one at a time - as is common in laboratory studies - versus when the eyes are moved to fixate on them - as occurs in natural reading - but also contributes to the broader advancement of these methods, facilitating future studies that simultaneously record brain responses and eye movements to examine natural behavior.
