Design and analysis of fMRI studies with neurologically impaired
... Our example of how perceptual difficulties affect subsequent cognitive responses comes from the developmental dyslexia literature. By definition, developmental dyslexics have poor reading accuracy. Therefore, if they are engaged in an fMRI study involving reading, they are likely to read fewer words a ...
