Abstract
Systems and methods for targeted strengthening of brain networks for fluent reading acquisition are provided. A task is delivered to assess neuronal connectivity of working-memory-network areas of a brain of a subject. Weaknesses in neuronal connectivity between working-memory-network areas of the brain are identified based on the assessment. Based on the identified weaknesses, a training exercise is delivered to the subject to increase neuronal connectivity between the identified working-memory-network areas of the brain of the subject.
Claims20
A computer-based system for targeted strengthening of brain networks for fluent reading acquisition system comprising:
- retrieving by one or more processors a task from a memory element;
- delivering by one or more processors the task to assess neuronal connectivity of working-memory-network areas of a brain of a subject;
- receiving by one or more processors responses to the task from the subject;
- converting by one or more processors the responses into a score;
- identifying by one or more processors weaknesses in neuronal connectivity between working-memory-network areas of the brain based on the score;
- selecting by one or more processors a training exercise based on the identified weaknesses;
- retrieving by one or more processors the training exercise from a memory element;
- and
- delivering by one or more processors the training exercise to increase neuronal connectivity in working-memory-network areas of the brain of the subject with the identified weaknesses.
