Reading and Attention for Individual Student Excellence - Collaboration with Gabrieli Lab at MIT

How are reading and attention-related in the brain? Using fMRI imaging to explore differences in neural pathways related to reading and attention, the RAISE study explores comorbidity between dyslexia and ADHD. We hope that findings from this study will help us better understand why these challenges often co-occur in struggling learners.

Math, Imaging, Neuroscience, and Dyslexia - Collaboration with Gabrieli Lab at MIT

Why is it that students who struggle with reading often also struggle with math? The MIND study explores comorbidities between dyslexia and dyscalculia (math disability), using fMRI imaging techniques to examine differences in brain activity when children are engaged in reading and math tasks.
