Dinsdag 22 maart om 13h zal Giada Guerra haar thesis genaamd “the contribution of auditory attention to reading processes of school-age children with and without dyslexia” voorstellen. De verdediging zal doorgaan in persoon in de aula te Minderbroedersberg 4-6. U kan de verdediging ook online bekijken hier. Een kopie van de thesis is te verkrijgen via

Check out our new review article summarising how learning to read changes the way our brains respond to speech and text and reorganises the way different brain areas communicate to one another. In this article we give an overview of the brain and behavioural changes that evolve during reading acquisition and provide suggestions for future studies.

We recently published an fMRI paper from the Leeswisnt project exploring changes in brain activation during letter-speech mapping over a three year period in children without dyslexia. Our findings show that reading development is characterized by dynamic changes in auditory as well as visual brain areas, and highlight the specific changes to our understanding and

Upcoming event! Prof. Milene Bonte will give a talk on “Letter and speech sound learning in typical and dyslexic readers” at the Current Opinion on Audiovisual Integration and Reading (Co-Air) Webinar (11 February 2021), and at the Institute of Research in Psychology (IPSY) at Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium (29 April 2021).
