Brain stimulation reduces dyslexia deficits
(Universit é de Gen è ve) Dyslexia is a frequent disorder of reading acquisition that affects up to 10% of the population. Although several possible causes have been proposed for dyslexia, the predominant one is a phonological deficit associated with changes in rhythmic or repetitive patterns of neural activity in a sound-processing region of the brain. Neuroscientists from the University of Geneva have demonstrated a causal relationship between brain oscillations and the ability to process phonemes.

Dyslexia: When spelling problems impair writing acquisition
(CNRS) Several studies have sought to identify the source of the problems encountered by individuals with dyslexia when they read. Little attention has been paid to the mechanisms involved in writing. Researchers decided to look at the purely motor aspects of writing in children diagnosed with dyslexia. Their results show that orthographic processing in children with dyslexia is so laborious that it can modify or impair writing skills, despite the absence of dysgraphia in these children.

Accident ahead? Difficulties of drivers with and without reading impairment recognising words and pictograms in variable message signs - Roca J, Tejero P, Insa B.
A timely and accurate acquisition of the information provided by variable message signs (VMS) can be crucial while driving. In the current study, we assess the difficulties of adults with dyslexia acquiring the information shown in VMS and provide evidence...
