We also find that Subject RCs and Object RCs show distinct EEG signals that diverge pretty early in the presentation of the first NP in the sentence – though we hesitate to make strong inferences about what this tells us about processing.

An EEG timecourse plot showing greater positive activity for object relative clauses compared to subject relative clauses in right lateral sensors.

The RPVP paradigm, we claim, helps mitigate the demands on working memory necessitated by word-by-word processing. So, we think these findings suggest that there is still detectable contribution of the *structure* of the RC, hearkening back to earlier representational theories
