Synopsis

Developmental dyslexia is a common specific learning disability that affects about one-tenth of the population. However, the underlying neurobiological cause of dyslexia is still under investigation. Emerging evidence has indicated that dyslexic readers often exhibit a deficit in visual attention and rapid temporal visual processing, suggesting an impaired magnocellular-dorsal system. My study is to investigate the role of the magnocellular-dorsal system in reading using electrophysiology methods and non-invasive brain stimulation.
