Transcranial direct current stimulation facilitates reading training in participants with post-stroke central alexia

Introduction: Central alexia is an acquired reading disorder co-occurring with a generalised language deficit (aphasia). We tested the effects of anodal transcranial Direct Current Stimulation targeted at the left inferior frontal gyrus applied in conjunction with a reading training App, called iReadMore, designed to improve word reading accuracy.
