Study Groups

RRT + active tDCS
Rhythmic Reading Training, administered for 5 hours over 10 days consecutive (30-minute training sessions per day) + simultaneous 20 minutes of active tDCS (1.5 mA, 5x5cm anodal electrode on left parieto-temporal regions and 5x5cm cathodal electrode on right parieto-temporal regions).
Rhythmic Reading Training
RRT is a computerized reading training program designed for Italian students with dyslexia. The main feature of this intervention is the integration of a traditional remediation approach (sublexical treatment) with rhythm processing. Therefore, all reading exercises are characterized by a rhythmic accompaniment with gradually increasing speed.
Transcranial direct current stimulation
tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) is a noninvasive weak-current brain stimulation technique that can facilitate (anodal electrode) or inhibit (cathodal electrode) cortical activity, thus offering exciting possibilities for the enhancement and treatment of impaired cognitive abilities.
RRT + sham tDCS
Rhythmic Reading Training, administered for 5 hours over 10 days consecutive (30-minute training sessions per day) + simultaneous 20 minutes of sham tDCS (with the same active tDCS setup, current applied for 30 seconds,
