What about reading?
What part of the brain do we read with?
Word Reading in the Brain
First: What questions would you need to ask in order to predict?
Day 2: Reading and UDL
1) What kind of reader are you? Individual differences.2) What are the micro-tasks involved in reading?3) What is the content? 4) What is the purpose for reading?5) Affective content6) Novice versus expert7) How is text presented – what are features?8) What is the age?9) What language is the text?10) Experience with this text11) Outloud versus subvocalo12) What modality - ?13) Music, or other related skills14) What enviornment are you in15) How familiar with the domain 16) Right or left handed?17) Previous structures availble18) What skills
Homework: What parts of the brain would NOT be involved in reading?
First, some structural anatomy to help us consider what parts of the brain might or might not be involved in reading.
How to make sense of all of the possible distributed learning in the brain?
How to make sense of all of the possible distributed learning in the brain?
Recognition networks
Strategic networks
Affective networks
Understanding what the distribution of learning is
Recognition networks
Perceive information in the environment and transform it into useable knowledge
Understanding the science of what learning is
Recognition Networks - Distributed

Recognition Networks - Parallel
Recognition Networks - Heterarchical
Illusions as top-down constraints on understanding images.

What kinds of patterns do you need to recognize for successful reading?
Strategic networks
Understanding the science of what learning is
Plan, organize, and initiate purposeful actions on the environment
Strategic network
Networks are Heterachical
Strategic networks:
What are the primary components of successful action and expression?
Moving toward guidelines
Physical Actions or Movement
What goes into strategic action and expression?
Skills and Fluency
Executive Functions
What kinds of frontal systems do you need to read?

Time = 102.8 sec

Which brings us back to the reading brain…

How can fMRI inform us?Neural correlates – patterns of activation associated with a selected
phenomenonTranslational Research
fMRI as an outcome measurefMRI as a surrogate markerTranslate between human and non-human research
Functional relations among brain regionsGenerating maps of brain function
• (excellent spatial coverage)Coactivity vs. connectivity
• (networks describe causal flow of information, not correlated activation; can measure the covariance to describe connectivity)
Sampling of application:object processing, speech, language plasticity, visual attention, connectivity between brain regions, relation between sensory experience and motor activity, emotion, memory, cognitive processing, consciousness, clinical practice, presurgical planning, intervention studies, attention, executive functioning, etc…
