We have recently published our first paper of project Leeswinst describing the findings of the ‘aba’ ‘ada’ task prior to scanning, when children completed the task on the computer. In this task we examine how children with and without dyslexia combine text and speech sounds. A previous study using this task showed that adults with

Op woensdag 20 februari organiseren wij een kindercongres over Project Leeswinst. Onze jonge deelnemers, hun ouders, broertjes en zusjes en deelnemende scholen zijn hiervoor van harte uitgenodigd! Onder het genot van een hapje en een drankje gaan we zorgen voor een leuke en leerzame middag. Professor Milene Bonte geeft een kindvriendelijke presentatie over lezen en

We have recently presented the findings of project Leeswinst in the SIG22 Neuroscience and Education conference in London in June and Flux: The Society for Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience meeting in Berlin in September. Our preliminary findings show that parts of the brain that we use for speech perception were less active in dyslexic children, while brain regions typically

Our lab member Mario Archila Melendez has published his research on the role of sensorimotor processes in speech perception in an open access journal http://www.eneuro.org/content/5/2/ENEURO.0252-17.2018. Sensorimotor integration supports speech while selective attention can shape the processing and performance of speech perception tasks. We used 7T fMRI in combination with machine learning (i.e., multivariate pattern analysis) to
