Reading Fluent Speech from Talking Faces: Typical Brain Networks and Individual Differences [PDF]
Abstract Listeners are able to extract important linguistic information by viewing the talker's face—a process known as “speechreading.” Previous studies of speechreading present small closed sets of simple words and their results indicate that visual speech processing engages a wide network of brain regions in the temporal, frontal, and

Neural correlates of (dys)fluent reading acquisition in typically reading and dyslexic children [PDF]
Fluent reading requires both fast recognition of written text and an automatic link to the speech sounds that these letters represent. This thesis investigates brain mechanisms underlying both processes in nine year old typically reading and dyslexic children.
