Filter by:The proposed is reading intervention study to track neural changes in the brain. Students with dyslexia will participate in a reading study. Pre and post-analysis data will be obtained to see whether there will be positive neural and behavioural change.
Developmental dyslexia (DD) is the most common learning disorder. Multiple cognitive and sensory domains contribute to the etiology of DD and develop before reading acquisition. Atypical brain functional responses and structural features have been found in the reading developing circuitry. Treatments addressing visual-spatial attention and motion perception (Visual Attention Training; VAT) are among the most effective interventions in Italian children with DD. The VAT seems to improve the efficiency of the visual attention system and the magnocellular (M) pathway which is crucial for learning to read. Evidence for impaired M function in subjects with DD in the visual striate and extra-striate cortex have been reported. How these treatments affect the brain functionality is still not clear. Since DD has a neurobiological basis, it is important to deeply investigate atypical functional responses and structural features in reading-related areas, and to understand how treatments operate at the neuronal level. A growing number of studies investigates structural and functional measures in neurodevelopmental disorders by using high-resolution MRI at high field (3T and 7T). Similarly, several studies examine the effects of different types of reading training upon brain activity. Better understanding of the relationship between structural/functional abnormalities and DD could disentangle the causes of reading difficulties and helps in developing effective treatments. The significance of this study is twofold: 1) NEURAL CORRELATES OF TREATMENT: The investigators expect TACHIDINO to specifically affect the underlying neurophysiological functioning which influences reading skills in children with DD; 2) BRAIN SIGNATURES: As integrated multi-domain data (behavioral and brain imaging) are complementary to each other, they could enhance the possibility to find unique treatment/brain functioning combinations to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention and to predict the treatment response.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficiency of the medical device MAEVAD in improving the reading skills of children with dyslexia.
Mila-Learn-01 is a double-blind clinical study (meaning that neither the patient nor the doctor or his/her team will know which game the child has), which enables us to see the effect of a serious game on the child's reading skills. The patients who will participate in this research will receive, at random, one of the two serious study games, the experimental game (Mila-Learn) or the placebo game (Mila-Placebo). The tasks designed in the placebo game mirror those of Mila-Learn. Each game comprises eight tasks to be completed on a touchscreen tablet. Each session lasts 25 minutes (±20%); five training sessions lasting 25 minutes are planned per week for eight weeks.
With this study, we wish to test how effective/ beneficial music activities can be for children with dyslexia.
As Chinese-speaking children with dyslexia typically have different cerebellar sign behavior from non-Chinese-speaking counterparts, this study compared the effect of visual occlusion on the static balance between dyslexic and non-dyslexic children using the Chinese language.
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are gaining importance in the rehabilitation programs for learning disabilities. The project will test tolerability and efficacy of a VR/AR specially developed tool to improve reading abilities of adolescents with dyslexia aged 10-16
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the specific effect of the sub-components of the reading training program Rhythmic Reading Training (RRT) on reading speed and accuracy in a sample of Italian students with developmental dyslexia (DD). More precisely, in order to better understand the neuropsychological mechanisms involved in reading improvements following RRT, the specific contribution of the visual component of the training (presence of a visual cue) will be investigated in a study with between-groups design.
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation vs. in presence rehabilitation of reading disorders, using a rhythm-based intervention for reading (i.e., Rhythmic Reading Training)
The study aims at testing a Neurofeedback (NF) training specifically designed for inducing a functional hemispheric imbalance of the tempo-parietal regions in individuals with dyslexia. A randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing two experimental conditions is described: a) Left theta/beta NF training in combination with right beta/theta NF training and b) sham NF training.
