Brain plasticity in developmental dyslexia after phonological treatment: A beta EEG band study

Linguistic EEG hemispheric reorganization was investigated in 14 dyslexic children after a 6-month phonological training (10 min/day through PC software). Error rates from three linguistic tasks significantly decreased and reading speed improved after the training. A significant positive correlation...

Zusammenfassung:	Linguistic EEG hemispheric reorganization was investigated in 14 dyslexic children after a 6-month phonological training (10 min/day through PC software). Error rates from three linguistic tasks significantly decreased and reading speed improved after the training. A significant positive correlation ( r 12 = 0.536) was found at posterior sites for the phonological task only, showing that those children who had the greatest reading speed enhancement showed the largest left posterior EEG beta power increase.
