Cognitive and Neural bases of Reading

This project aims at exploring the cognitive and neural bases of reading by means of behavioral and neurofunctional techniques. In particular, we are studying highly-proficient late-acquisition bilinguals in order to describe the effect of being first exposed to a transparent -rather than opaque- orthography on reading performance.

In addition, we aim at shedding light on the reading abilities of the right hemisphere in people with a different degree of functional brain lateralization.
