Automated identification of ERP peaks through Dynamic Time Warping: an application to developmental dyslexia.

Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: This article proposes a method to automatically identify and label event-related potential (ERP) components with high accuracy and precision. METHODS: We present a framework, referred to as peak-picking Dynamic Time Warping (ppDTW), where ... Read more...

Rapid automatized naming, phonology and dyslexia in Polish children.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Many studies have showed that children with reading difficulties have deficits in both rapid automatized naming (RAN) and phonological skills (PS). The double-deficit hypothesis suggests that phonological and naming-speed deficits are ... Read more...

Atypical brain responses to sounds in children with specific language and reading impairments.

30 Aug 2009 This study tested if children with specific language impairment (SLI) or children with specific reading disability (SRD) have abnormal brain responses to sounds. We tested 6- to 12-year-old children with SLI (N =19), children with SRD (N =55), and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Dyslexia'

Definition: A cognitive disorder characterized by an impaired ability to comprehend written and printed words or phrases despite intact vision. This condition may be developmental or acquired. Developmental dyslexia is marked by reading achievement that falls substantially below that expected given the individual's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age-appropriate education. The disturbance in reading significantly interferes with academic achievement or with activities of daily living that require reading skills. (From DSM-IV)
