Research and new technology supporting dyslexia

Dyslexia is an increasing problem affecting people studying at all school levels. Technological progress gives a strong impulse to the development of new tools and web-based environment to support learning processes for dyslexic people. From text-to-speech software to computer aided tools, computers and communication technologies are leading actors in providing facilities for education and daily life of dyslexic people. Moreover, much progress has been made across research specialities spanning education, neuropsychology, neurobiology, information technology in recent years. Brain imaging particularly gives new perspectives in understanding learning disorders in order to help to solve or to give technological or methodological support to people suffering from this problem. Deriving from brain imaging, the rising of EEG-based BCI devices open new opportunities in studying new tools to support learning and research in dyslexia
