dc.description.abstractLearning to read is one of the most cognitively complex tasks we will ever learn to do. Thus understanding the reading process is not just intrinsically interesting, but can give us a number of valuable insights into the relationship between brain processes and cognitive behaviour. MEG neuroimaging allows us to investigate reading processes in terms of the spatial extent of cortical activations when reading, the timing between brain locations, and the frequency dynamics between different cortical areas. The big challenge now for neuroscience is to model all three components of neural behaviour in order to be able to really understand the complexity of human cognition.
