Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Measures derived from complex network analysis, spectral analysis of different frequency bands, and recurrence quantification analysis are generally expected to converge on: - less scale-free organization in dyslexic readers' brain networks when compared to average reading peers. - deviations from 1/f noise (f.i. towards white noise or Brownian noise) in the time series of dyslexic readers' brain activity when compared to average reading peers. - more random or laminar attractor dynamics of the functional network of dyslexic readers when compared to average reading peers. 2. The expected organization characteristics sketched in 1 are hypothesized to be present most clearly in the tasks that require most integration of component processes. 3. Within-subject analyses over the three measurement occasions are expected to reveal more scale-free organization in those participants who benefit from the intervention. Moreover, for those participants the observation of scale-free organization is expected to increase in tasks that require highest level of integration of component processes. | — |
