title: Brain plasticity in developmental dyslexia after phonological treatment: a beta EEG band study.
abstract: Linguistic EEG hemispheric reorganization was investigated in 14 dyslexic children after a 6-month phonological training (10 min/day through PC software). Error rates from three linguistic tasks significantly decreased and reading speed improved after the training. A significant positive correlation (r(12)=0.536) was found at posterior sites for the phonological task only, showing that those children who had the greatest reading speed enhancement showed the largest left posterior EEG beta power increase.
