Researchers propose a new model to study developmental dyslexia

Caption

Using patient data from a public database, researchers at Kyushu University detected brain structures and activities characteristic of developmental dyslexia and classified patients with developmental dyslexia in a data-driven manner. By examining behavioral and cognitive changes induced by transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) in healthy individuals, which elicits brain activity similar to that observed in patients, they verified brain abnormalities associated with developmental dyslexia. Compared to conventional non-invasive brain stimulation methods, tTIS can stimulate deeper brain regions.
